TRY STORM CAT battled all the way to the line when just touched off at Hamilton recently and is likely to have plenty more to offer. The son of Saxon Warrior looks to have been found a suitable opportunity to shed his maiden tag. Willowinghurn struck over track and trip on her penultimate start and David O'Meara's filly has experience on her side so she is respected. Our Hero Matty completes the shortlist.

Quite competitive. TRY STORM CAT has twice given it a good go from the front and he has leading form claims.

3/1(+10%) | (4) Kinnalargy 3/1, Slowly away beaaten 8l in a novice over 6f at York on debut; back in trip; eased in grade; serious threat Very green when ninth at York on his debut; in good hands and capable of better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (6/5 +56%)Jungle Monarch |
6/5(+56%) | (3) Jungle Monarch 6/5, Beaten 6l in a maiden at Wolverhampton on fair debut; should improve; form working out well from that; could figure Encouraging debut fifth at Wolverhampton; can take a step forward now; likely player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (12/1 -71%)Alkuwarrior |
12/1(-71%) | (1) Alkuwarrior 12/1, Below par well beaten in National Stakes (Listed) at Sandown latest; in good form prior; this easier; needs to improve, but go close if nearer early season form Landed 5f Yarmouth maiden in April but has failed to beat a rival in three subsequent runs. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (10/1 -67%)Wonderful Friend |
10/1(-67%) | (6) Wonderful Friend 10/1, Slowly away when beaten 6l in a novice at Nottingham on fair debut; should improve; may contend Debut sixth in novice at Nottingham; open to progress and needs considering. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (7/1 +13%)O Fortuna |
7/1(+13%) | (5) O Fortuna 7/1, Beaten 8l in a maiden here on debut; top course jockey/trainer combination; needs to improve; outside chance Hinted at promise when a debut C&D seventh; this son of Dream Ahead can build on it. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (15/2 -67%)Great Profit |
15/2(-67%) | (2) Great Profit 15/2, Well beaten in a novice at Ripon only start; slowly away and given too much to do; more needed Green when beating only one in novice at Ripon; £360,000 breeze-up purchase can do better. |

40/1(-150%) | (7) Powernap 40/1, Sold for 38,000 euros as a yearling; filly by high-class sprinter Havana Grey; half-sister to Take A Nap, fair at 7f; dam useful sprinter Napping; market can guide Havana Grey filly; dam multiple 6f winner (RPR 70); a considered newcomer. |

GREAT PROFIT was too keen to do himself justice when well beaten on his debut at Ripon, but he would have learned a lot from that experience. Richard Fahey's youngster was an expensive 360,000-pounds purchase and is well related so he could take a big leap forward to strike. O Fortuna possibly raced on the wrong side of the track when only seventh on his introduction over C&D and may show more. Jungle Monarch is another to note.

Karl Burke's Bungle Inthejungle colt JUNGLE MONARCH made a promising start when fifth at Wolverhampton and can build on it.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (80/1 -21%)Shanlieve |
80/1(-21%) | (6) Shanlieve 80/1, Well beaten in an auction race at Tipperary only start; more needed to get involved Certainly seems to have ability but probably won't see it until he steps up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (125/1 -56%)Four White Fury |
125/1(-56%) | (3) Four White Fury 125/1, Well beaten in an auction race at Tipperary only start where missed the break; plenty more needed Cheap purchase & ran accordingly when never a factor on debut over 7f at Tipperary in May. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (50/1 -25%)Tero D'rosa |
50/1(-25%) | (7) Tero D'rosa 50/1, Well beaten in a maiden over 8f here only start; back in trip; plenty more needed and likely need more time 7th of 16 in 1m Limerick maiden on debut 10 days ago; the drop in trip isn't sure to suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (250/1 -213%)Rising King |
250/1(-213%) | (5) Rising King 250/1, Slowly away down the field in a maiden over 9f at Gowran Park most recent; back in trip; all to do Beaten a combined 56l in two starts at Gowran at between 1m and 9.5f; hard to fancy. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (8) (200/1 -150%)Zammawar |
200/1(-150%) | (8) Zammawar 200/1, Well beaten in a maiden over 6f at The Curragh only start having missed the break; up in trip; all to do Slowly away & tailed off on debut at the Curragh over 6.5f this month; readily passed over. |

300/1(-200%) | (11) Posh Spirit 300/1, Well beaten in an auction race at Tipperary only start having missed the break; difficult to fancy Not a bad profile but was always in rear on debut at Tipperary over 7f last month. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (10) (300/1 -140%)Glasheen Girl |
300/1(-140%) | (10) Glasheen Girl 300/1, No worthwhile form; blinkers first time; not proven trip; unproven on fast ground; all to do Huge odds and has failed to beat a single rival home in three maidens at 6f-1m; rule out. |

The Ger Lyons-trained KNOCKMARK looks to have been found a nice opportunity to get his head in front. Having finished fourth on two occasions earlier in the season, the son of Havana Grey stepped up on those runs when second at Fairyhouse recently. A reproduction of that effort would almost certainly suffice in a race of this nature. Given his experience, it would be no great surprise to see the gelding make all under James Ryan. Alfred Tennyson has shown enough in five starts to suggest he can win a maiden and perhaps the application of first-time blinkers will spark further improvement. Aeon's Aegis, who ran well here in April, is also worth considering.

Joseph O'Brien runs two and although Aeon's Aegis has shown some ability, a chance is taken on SWEET BAY to improve on turf debut

3/1(-50%) | (9) Crowd Quake 3/1, Stiff test on soft at a mile suited and going away line when landing a handicap by 2 1/4l off 56 at Yarmouth last time; form pick, but slight worry at this trip on faster ground Record of 1121 since running in Flat turf faces; upped in grade but may improve further. |

2nd (4) (5/2 +29%)Little Keilee |
5/2(+29%) | (4) Little Keilee 5/2, Official rating had fallen to just 1lb above last winning mark and back to form beaten 1/2l off 65 over 7f at Catterick last time; trainer in form; up in trip (stays); contender Ex-Irish mare who finished well at Catterick last week on debut for new yard; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (15/2 +53%)Siam Fox |
15/2(+53%) | (2) Siam Fox 15/2, Similar, bit below par, effort to previous start beaten 6l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; form has tailed off Judged on 2024 form, this may be the time to catch him; won off 6lb higher last June. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (10) (28/1 -56%)Rising Force |
28/1(-56%) | (10) Rising Force 28/1, Up 6lb in the weights and poor effort off a break eighth beaten 11l off 61 last time; usually held up; may bounce back, but bit to prove off new mark Ties in with Charencey on latest effort but has never won above Class 6. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (12/1 -20%)Coolree |
12/1(-20%) | (5) Coolree 12/1, Too keen up in trip to 10f given slower pace eighth beaten 9l off 66 last time; stays 10f, but could be better suited by a mile 2-2 at Beverley but 0-21 in handicaps elsewhere; not the percentage call. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (8/1 +20%)Charencey |
8/1(+20%) | (6) Charencey 8/1, Well backed, may have needed race back on turf (acts on it) well beaten in a handicap at Nottingham latest; usually consistent, but bit to prove now Never dangerous last time but was backed into favouritism and can't be written off. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (14/1 +13%)Dubawi Time |
14/1(+13%) | (8) Dubawi Time 14/1, Yard won this last year; probably too keen and well below form again comfortably held in a handicap over 10f at Brighton last time; down in trip; disappointing both starts in 2025 Both 2025 efforts suggest this drop back to 1m is worth exploring. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (7) (16/1 -146%)Cables Queen |
16/1(-146%) | (7) Cables Queen 16/1, Bit below previous start second time in cheekpieces and down to 6f beaten 3l off 63 over 6f at Goodwood last time; trainer in form; up in trip; possibly best suited by 7f Found the return to 6f against her last time; may show progress back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (1) (7/1 +50%)Youarenotforgiven |
7/1(+50%) | (1) Youarenotforgiven 7/1, Ran to current level beaten 4l off 73 at Southwell last time; returning from a break; perpetually slow to break, mark is falling Absent since January; on a handy mark but has never won when fresh. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (3) (18/1 -100%)Super Hit |
18/1(-100%) | (3) Super Hit 18/1, Possibly got too far back and below form sixth beaten 5l off 70 last time; tends to do best racing close to the pace and may bounce back with more forcing tactics Two attempts over 1m resulted in a win and close third, both at Thirsk, this spring. |

Crowd Quake made it three wins from his last four when on target at Yarmouth last month and the progressive Night Of Thunder gelding merits respect, but it is LITTLE KEILEE that shades preference. Second to an in-form rival on her stable debut over 7f at Catterick recently, returning to the mile looks certain to suit and she can go one place better. Super Hit didn't get the clearest of runs at Chester last time out and is well worth considering today.

The Verdict comprises the James Owen-trained runners LITTLE KEILEE and Cables Queen, who both look interesting back up in trip.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (5/1 -150%)Valencia |
5/1(-150%) | (8) Valencia 5/1, Probably needed race beaten 3l in a maiden over 7f at The Curragh last time; in good form prior; top course trainer; 2yo form franked at Group level; up in trip; threat Solid 7f-1m form at two, may have needed return, dam won at this trip, chance if she stays. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (9/1 -64%)Diamond Exchange |
9/1(-64%) | (2) Diamond Exchange 9/1, Appeared not to stay beaten 7l in a maiden over 12f at The Curragh last time; in good form prior; down in trip; could prove tough to peg back Rated 81, didn't stay 1m4f latest, had previously run well at 1m2f, needs more to win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (18/1 -13%)Drama Queen |
18/1(-13%) | (3) Drama Queen 18/1, Beaten 7l in a maiden over 8f at Naas on debut having missed the kick; up in trip; place claims with improvement likely Well-bred sort, 33-1 and never involved after slow start on debut, could do better now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (9/2 +44%)Two For Joy |
9/2(+44%) | (7) Two For Joy 9/2, Well beaten in a maiden at Leopardstown only start; blinkers first time; off a short-break; open to marked improvement for top yard though may want further in time 12-1 and in need of experience on debut, blinkers go on, could improve, not discounted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (250/1 -400%)Feel The Burn |
250/1(-400%) | (4) Feel The Burn 250/1, 1,000gns breeze-up purchase by Profitable; half-sister to Belle Fourche, useful at 6f; tongue-tie first time; best watched Cheaply bought Profitable filly, half-sister to 6f winner, tongue tied for debut, watch. |

IN MY TEENS ran with plenty of promise to finish second on her racecourse debut at Gowran at the start of the month and an extra couple of furlongs should pose no concern, especially given her dam's exploits on the racetrack as a dual Grade 1 winner over hurdles. Diamond Exchange is expected to benefit from dropping back in trip after tackling 1m4f at the Curragh, while Avant Nous and Two For Joy are both open to a fair amount of improvement.

IN MY TEENS stayed on strongly over 1m on debut at Gowran and she may be able to get her head in front stepped up to this longer trip

COSMIC SOUL has filled the runner-up berth over 2m at Catterick the last twice and his rating hasn't been changed since the latest of those, when beaten less than a length. Patrick Neville's five-year-old is yet to achieve success in his career, but this looks like a good spot. Dubai Venture gamely made every yard of the running to score over 1m4f at Pontefract and is just 2lb higher. Paco's Pride lurks on an appealing rating and is another to keep an eye on.

Ed Walker's low-mileage mare GLIMMER OF LIGHT made a promising return when third at Leicester and can build on it to get off the mark.

4/1(+56%) | (3) Just Before 4/1, Slowly away beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Fairyhouse last time; usually consistent; just 1lb above last winning mark; squeak Not so good in handicaps lately but is dropping in the weights so can't be ruled out. |

4th (8) (13/2 +28%)Moonhall Lass |

6th (4) (11/4 +54%)Bishopton |
11/4(+54%) | (4) Bishopton 11/4, Appeared not to stay down the field in a 3yo race over 10f at Gowran Park most recent; good mark on previous maiden run; down in trip; unproven on fast ground; can get invovled Out of his depth and didn't stay over nearly 1m2f at Gowran last time; this more suitable. |

Fairyhouse runner-up MISAPPROPRIATION has strong claims of going one place better. The form of that race received a significant boost when the third landed a premier handicap on her next start. Stepping back up a furlong should benefit the Ger Lyons-trained filly, given that she is already a winner at the distance. Nicola Burns, who was in the saddle last time, retains the ride. Towards the foot of the weights, Rion Rubette catches the eye. Second on her most recent start at the Curragh, the Michael Butler-trained daughter of New Bay should be suited to this longer trip. Glyndwr and Bishopton are others to consider in a tight-knit affair.

The Ger Lyons pair of Glyndwr and MISAPPROPRIATION are of most interest. Slight preference is for the latter returning to 7f.

1st (2) (4/1 +33%)Humidity |
4/1(+33%) | (2) Humidity 4/1, All-the-way winner of 6f maiden at Newbury on debut, toughing it out well; this is tougher but he's a brother to 2022 winner of this, Holloway Boy; respected for leading yard. Prevailed narrowly at Newbury but is open to progress; brother to the 2022 Chesham winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (12/1 -9%)Thesecretadversary |
12/1(-9%) | (4) Thesecretadversary 12/1, Runner-up in a maiden at Leopardstown (7f), only collared late on by an Aidan O'Brien-trained winner, the pair clear; this calls for more but that was a promising start. Ran promisingly from the front at Leopardstown, collared only towards the finish. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (8) (10/3 -21%)Moments Of Joy |
10/3(-21%) | (8) Moments Of Joy 10/3, Rallied to win what is often a good maiden at Leopardstown (7f) on debut; well-bred filly; top trainer has won 5 of last 10 runnings and his 2yos have been in great form this week; claims. Successful in Leopardstown maiden that threw up the Chesham winners in 20217 and 2024. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (7/1 +50%)Venetian Lace |
7/1(+50%) | (9) Venetian Lace 7/1, Decisive winner in a maiden over 6f on Chelmsford AW on debut; the second there has won since; 7f should suit judged on pedigree; place contender. Solid success on Chelmsford AW; goes into much deeper waters but brings potential. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (5/4 -4%)Treanmor |
5/4(-4%) | (5) Treanmor 5/4, 2,000,000euros yearling; won very easily over 6f at Newmarket on debut; trainer won this with star 2yo Pinatubo in 2019; doubt that the debut form is worth too much but strong claims. 2,000,000euros yearling; impressive in Newmarket contest and looks a smart prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (50/1 +24%)Tailgunner Joe |
50/1(+24%) | (3) Tailgunner Joe 50/1, 19 February foal; 30,000gns breeze-up purchase; dam useful at 9f as a 2yo; thrown in at the deep end on this debut. 30,000gns (breeze-up) 2yo; by Knicks Go; one of two newcomers in the field. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (40/1 -82%)Waterford Castle |
40/1(-82%) | (6) Waterford Castle 40/1, Promise when third in a maiden at Sandown (7f) on debut a week ago; that was promising but good bit more needed here and this is a quick enough return. Ran encouragingly at Sandown last week but this is a much stiffer assignment. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (1) (40/1 +0%)Brave Hunter |
40/1(+0%) | (1) Brave Hunter 40/1, Third in a 7f novice at Yarmouth on debut; fractious beforehand then; something to find. Showed some promise over 7f at Yarmouth but has plenty to find on the bare form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (66/1 +0%)Zooter |
66/1(+0%) | (7) Zooter 66/1, 15 March foal; 8,000gns Australia gelding; half-brother to Ottoman Force, useful at 5f; dam very useful at 8f; fact that he's already been gelded could be construed as a negative; opposed. 8,000gns yearling; by Australia; one of two newcomers in the field. |

TREANMOR hardly came out of first gear when making an impressive debut at Newmarket last month and this son of Frankel, who cost 2,000,000 euros as a yearling, could be something special if he continues to flourish. This is obviously a stiffer test and Moments Of Joy stands out as a higher calibre opponent. A game winner on her debut at Leopardstown just 16 days ago, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly merits serious consideration as the sole Ballydoyle representative. Humidity was privately purchased by Wathnan Racing after his game winning debut at Newbury and is another serious player.

Godolphin colt TREANMOR has stacks of potential, while Moments Of Joy and Humidity have strong credentials.

9/1(-125%) | (4) Pacific Avenue 9/1, 9 Mar; Dubawi colt; full-brother to Highland Avenue, high-class at 9f; dam high-class from 6f (at 2yo) to 8f; top course trainer; second string Nicely bred colt; this stablemate of Wild Desert is an interesting debutant. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (2) (30/100 +0%)Wild Desert |
30/100(+0%) | (2) Wild Desert 30/100, Yard has won last three runnings of this race; came clear without being all out on very promising debut in a novice at Haydock; top course trainer; quite nice type with good attitude, plenty to come Well bred; justified favouritism with 5l win at Haydock and looks a bright prospect. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (4/1 0%)Commander's Intent |
4/1(0%) | (1) Commander's Intent 4/1, Knew job second start and came clear with useful debutant when winning a novice at Yarmouth by 2l last time; strong sort, bit to come Proved suited by the step up to 7f at Yarmouth where he beat the market leader. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (33/1 -32%)Sunset On Leros |
33/1(-32%) | (5) Sunset On Leros 33/1, 17 Mar; 42,000gns Almanzor colt; dam very smart at 7f at 2yo; worth watching in the market 42,000gns yearling; by Almanzor; yard is 0-5 with 2yos this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (13/2 -18%)May Angel |
13/2(-18%) | (3) May Angel 13/2, 8 Mar; Dark Angel colt; half-brother to Bosphorus Rose, useful at 10f; dam useful from 5f to 6f; top trainer in form; contender Dark Angel half-brother to a 1m2f winner; major yard; check the betting. |

The strength of form might be up for debate, but WILD DESERT was visually impressive when recording a five-length success at Haydock on his debut last month. A 6lb penalty is unlikely to prevent another big run and he is fancied to double his tally, but stablemate Pacific Avenue, who is a full brother to Darley Stakes winner Highland Avenue, may well give him plenty to think about. Commander's Intent was able to step forward from a mildly promising debut effort to score at Yarmouth recently and is no back number.

Charlie Appleby has a great record in this race and his two runners, WILD DESERT and Pacific Avenue, comprise the Verdict.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (10) (10/1 -33%)Sottsands |
10/1(-33%) | (10) Sottsands 10/1, Well treated at weights beaten l off 62 over 12f at Limerick last time; down in trip; inconsistent in short career; contender if bringing best Okay form in Dundalk maidens; best handicap run came last time when collared late on. |

ANGELO PIO had the measure of Alba Chiara (second) in a C&D maiden last month and although the latter is 3lb better off in this handicap, Joseph O'Brien's colt can confirm his superiority en route to further success. Edergole's Angel is more exposed than most of these, but she has been running well in defeat of late and a first-time visor could elicit some improvement. Others to note include Camevere and Paddydaddy.

ALBA CHIARA (nap) needed to race wide when finishing second to one of today's rivals over C&D last time. She can turn the tables here

11/1(-10%) | (5) Just King High 11/1, Going probably on fast side beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at York last time; usually consistent; may not relish fast ground; risky Not best drawn when 11th at York latest so he shouldn't be written off. |

NAANA'S SPARKLE showed up well for a long way in the 3YO Dash at Epsom a fortnight ago and could be worth chancing in these calmer waters. That was easily his stiffest task of the season so far and a 1lb nudge down the ratings could prove to be a gift from the handicapper. Mission Command and Reservardo are closely matched based on their recent Musselburgh encounter and can fight it out for second.

A few hold chances but RESERVARDO started life in handicaps with a good Musselburgh third and is taken to resume winning ways.

Provided she breaks on terms, ANVIKA can record a second win at this track. Runner-up in a big field at the Curragh on her penultimate outing, Sheila Lavery's four-year-old blew her chance early on when slowly away here last time. Although the daughter of Dandy Man has dwelt on occasions, that was the first time she lost many lengths from the stalls. On the assumption that she won't be as tardy, she is given the nod. The David Marnane-trained Amemri has to be respected in her bid for a five-timer. While this is the highest grade she has raced in, she is an improving mare. Mallavelly will appreciate returning to a mile.

Stormie Outlook has claims if she can recapture last year's form, but this looks like a golden opportunity for ANVIKA (nap) to win

9/4(+10%) | (9) Rebel's Romance 9/4, Winner of seven Gr 1s in a glittering career; won messy Gr 2 at York (14f) last time; probably best at 12f; 7yo is very reliable and the one to beat on form, albeit not by all that much.

4th (8) (16/1 +0%)Palladium |
16/1(+0%) | (8) Palladium 16/1, Encouraging third in Listed race when run was probably needed at Goodwood (led); unproven on fast ground; German Derby winner last year; needs a career-best for sure. Won last year's German Derby; close Listed 3rd on yard debut; others have stronger claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (12) (25/1 -79%)Tabletalk |
25/1(-79%) | (12) Tabletalk 25/1, Ran to form when second in Gr 3 at Newbury (12f, good to firm) latest; something to find on balance. Runner-up in Group 3 races at Newbury the last twice but down the pecking order on ratings. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (12/1 -20%)Al Aasy |
12/1(-20%) | (1) Al Aasy 12/1, Bit too much to do in a messy race at Newbury latest; usually held up; 8yo had looked as good as ever when winning at Sandown (10f; 12f is fine) previously; each-way shout. 7-time Group 3 winner, latest in April; the race didn't go his way at Newbury last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (40/1 -21%)Burdett Road |
40/1(-21%) | (4) Burdett Road 40/1, Good dual-purpose horse for whom 12f on the Flat may be more suitable than the 2m he was below-par over last time; something to find in this company; tongue-tie left off. Listed winner last September; Champion Hurdle runner-up in March; Flat career best needed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (3) (33/1 -50%)Bellum Justum |
33/1(-50%) | (3) Bellum Justum 33/1, Has developed into a very smart colt, including 12f Gr 2 win two starts back; needs more on that now and was uncharacteristically below-par at Epsom last time. Group 2 win last month and good to soft ground was an excuse at Epsom since; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (25/1 -257%)Space Legend |
25/1(-257%) | (10) Space Legend 25/1, Too fresh over an inadequate 10.3f at Chester last time on seasonal debut; cheekpieces first time and return to 12f a plus but needs a notable career-best. Ran well in defeat in Group 2s last season; remains lightly raced but needs improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (6) (25/1 -56%)Epic Poet |
25/1(-56%) | (6) Epic Poet 25/1, Ran to form when close second to Rebel's Romance (who conceded 5lb) in messy Group 2 (1m6f) at York latest; ideally needs stiff test at 14f and 2m suits; vulnerable at 12f. Pushed Rebel's Romance close in 1m6f Group 2 Yorkshire Cup; could go well once more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (25/1 +0%)Candleford |
25/1(+0%) | (5) Candleford 25/1, C&D handicap winner here in 2022; smart performer but this 7yo has a bit to find here and been off since fourth in this (ran to form) a year ago. C&D winner who goes well fresh but is likely to come up short in this race once more. |

Always highly regarded by connections, AL RIFFA didn't shape without promise when rallying for fourth in the Prix Ganay. It was only last July when he ran City Of Troy to a length in the Coral Eclipse and, already a Group 1 winner over 1m4f, the son of Wootton Bassett looks the value play in this prestigious contest. Winner of the Breeders' Cup Turf last November and a determined scorer on his return to British shores at York last month, Rebel's Romance should go very close. Now owned by Amo Racing, Ghostwriter remains a capable sort at this level, while Space Legend should improve for going back up in trip.

Preference is for GHOSTWRITER. He tackles a new trip but his dam was a 1m4f winner and he possesses some strong Group 1 form.

1st (1) (11/4 -10%)Elarak |
11/4(-10%) | (1) Elarak 11/4, Had benefited for debut experience when winning a novice at Lingfield by 3/4l last time; probably more to come and a contender Left debut behind when winning on 7.5f Lingfield reappearance; can improve again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5/2 +17%)Naval Command |
5/2(+17%) | (5) Naval Command 5/2, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; probably needed race fourth beaten 6 1/4l in a maiden over 10f at Leicester on seasonal debut, but close to form of 2yo start; top course trainer; down in trip; off a short-break; can improve Promise when fourth both starts but drop back to 1m possibly not ideal; has been gelded. |

3rd (6) (66/1 -65%)Singing In Paris |
66/1(-65%) | (6) Singing In Paris 66/1, Raced freely beaten 8l in a novice over 10f at Doncaster last time running to same form as debut; drops back in trip; plenty more needed Has shown ability in two recent 1m2f outings but might be more one for handicaps. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (125/1 -25%)Mio Amico |
125/1(-25%) | (4) Mio Amico 125/1, Muhaarar gelding; half-brother to Universi Dominici, useful at 6f as 2yo; dam useful at 10f; hood a worry on debut Hooded for debut; likely outsider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (6/1 +50%)Almekarem |
6/1(+50%) | (3) Almekarem 6/1, Kingman colt; half-brother to Wuqood, very smart at 10f; dam top-class at 12f; interesting debutant Well-bred colt and interesting to see what the betting makes of him. |

ELARAK finished a creditable sixth on the Rowley Mile when making his debut in October before taking a considerable step forward to score at Lingfield last month. The Kingman colt ought to progress further and, with race-fitness on his side, is taken to repel the challenge of First Principle, who defeated a now 91-rated rival at Kempton in December. Wolfpack could only manage a midfield finish at Doncaster a fortnight ago but improvement appears likely today.

This may be a straight fight between the two previous winners, with FIRST PRINCIPLE preferred to Elarak..

25/1(+50%) | (10) Lunar Landscape 25/1, Well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Fairyhouse latest; absent for very lengthy period; down in trip; good mark on old UK form; needs to prove ability remains Returns from mammoth absence; English form would give him a say but best watched on return. |

7th (2) (50/1 -178%)Milverton |
50/1(-178%) | (2) Milverton 50/1, Ideally suited by trip beaten 5l in a maiden here last time; that improved form; hood first time; stable form a worry but outside chance on handicap debut Made seasonal return with sixth of eight over this C&D recently; poor form overall. |

4/1(-45%) | (14) Cala Bonita 4/1, Landed a handicap by a length off 57 over 8f at Gowran Park last time; up in trip; should show some improvement but must do to follow up off revised mark Left 2yo form behind when winning handicap last month; up 7lb but improving. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (6/1 +40%)No Mo Cash |
6/1(+40%) | (13) No Mo Cash 6/1, Well beaten, outclassed fourth beaten 30l in a maiden over 1m5f at Ballinrobe latest; down in trip; good mark on spring maiden form; contender on handicap debut Okay AW debut; well held in turf maiden starts; of limited appeal on handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (11/1 -57%)Camachero |
11/1(-57%) | (5) Camachero 11/1, Poorly drawn beaten 6l in a handicap over 7f at Leopardstown last time; cheekpieces first time; trainer in form; up in trip; not out of it if stamina holds up but that is a worry Too keen last time but was a close fourth at this track on penultimate start; new headgear. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (3) (18/1 -13%)Pinball Wizard |
18/1(-13%) | (3) Pinball Wizard 18/1, Did not get a clear run second beaten 2 1/4l in a claimer over 7f at Gowran Park latest; should come on for that; up in trip; stamina concerns Positive second over 7f last time after a break; makes stable debut; has won at this trip. |

Cala Bonita won nicely at Gowran, but has been raised 7lb and has a bit to prove over this trip. Palmezzano warrants respect on his second at Navan and could pose a threat if fully recovered from whatever ailed him at Leopardstown subsequently, but a chance is taken on LETIZA. She placed off similar marks towards the end of last year and Henry de Bromhead's daughter of Holy Roman Emperor will be sharper for her recent comeback run.

PALMEZZANO went very close on his handicap debut at Navan and he can take this if in the full of his health after going wrong last time

5/2(+29%) | (1) Azure Angel 5/2, Ran to form beaten a length off 86 over 6f here last time; struggled in only other start over 5f, but remains of interest from a tempting mark Good 2nd over 6f here last month; handy mark but the return to 5f is a slight query. |

2nd (4) (17/2 -89%)Alligator Alley |
17/2(-89%) | (4) Alligator Alley 17/2, Lost about 2l when squeezed out late and would have run to form beaten 3l off 78 at Southwell last time; lurking on a dangerous mark; big chance On the downgrade but handicapped accordingly; latest run excusable; others appeal more. |

5th (5) (5/1 +38%)South Parade |
5/1(+38%) | (5) South Parade 5/1, Below par beaten 7l in a handicap at Chelmsford last time; in good form prior; top jockey back on board; should do better back on turf; threat in tight affair Started the year with two good placed efforts and poorly drawn latest; not dismissed. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (2) (7/2 +42%)Muker |
7/2(+42%) | (2) Muker 7/2, Won this last year from 1lb lower mark; scored by a nose off 82 at Thirsk three starts back; fraction below form back on AW, interference looking imaterial fourth beaten 2 1/4l off 84 last time; chance Won this race last year off 1lb lower; comes here in top form; leading contender again. |

7th (6) (16/1 -100%)Profitable Edge |
16/1(-100%) | (6) Profitable Edge 16/1, Beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Musselburgh last time; off a short-break having had a wind-op; 2025 form hasn't been as good as last term; place squeak Yet to fire this year but she's undergone wind surgery since last seen; yard run two here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (6/1 +14%)Zarzyni |
6/1(+14%) | (3) Zarzyni 6/1, Scored by a neck off 78 at Musselburgh three starts back; seventh beaten 5l off 80 last time; usually held up; not quite as consistent these days; in the mix Second to Muker in this race last year; not at best the last twice but likely to run well. |

MUKER took this race off 1lb lower 12 months ago and is an attractive proposition as he bids for a repeat with stronger credentials this time around. Denied a clear run behind a surprise winner at Southwell on his most recent start, this still zestful seven-year-old has a decent chance of enhancing his profile with a third career win over this C&D. Azure Angel has form that ties in with the selection through his Southwell conqueror and needs serious thought. Zarzyni and Alligator Alley are other major players.

Last year's one-two MUKER (nap) and Zarzyni should find this being run to suit and they can fill the same placings.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (1) (10/1 +0%)Notforalongtime |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (9) (7/1 +61%)Nibras Rainbow |
7/1(+61%) | (9) Nibras Rainbow 7/1, Beaten 4l off 52 over 10f at Cork last time; down in trip; inconsistent; best efforts on easy ground; risky Led for most of the way when beaten 3.5l into ninth at Cork (10.5f) four weeks ago; chance. |

NOTFORALONGTIME can provide the locally-based Laura Hourigan stable with a winner. Fifth in a stronger race here last time, the eight-year-old stayed on strongly inside the final furlong. A multiple winner on the all-weather, he has only the solitary success on turf but is effective on the surface. Well handicapped at present, the son of Paco Boy may have been laid out for this meeting. The hat-trick seeking Deuteronomy has to be given serious consideration. An improving gelding, the penny really seems to have dropped this season. Recent Gowran Park winner Sierra De Gredos is lightly raced and should be competitive off a 6lb higher mark.

A competitive handicap can go the way of the improving SIERRA DE GREDOS, who impressed when scoring at Gowran last time out

10/1(-100%) | (12) Storm Boy 10/1, Very smart performer in Australia, including Gr 2 and Gr 3 wins; will need to leave last month's disappointing stable debut run well behind; yard won this with ex-Aussie horse in 2018. Australian Group 2 winner; disappointing stable debut but could bounce back with bold show. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (50/1 +24%)Grand Grey |
50/1(+24%) | (3) Grand Grey 50/1, Better than bare form of either start for his new stable this season, first time getting going bit too late at Newmarket and then very slowly away at The Curragh; needs a career-best. Blew the start last time so is risky, but Jamie Spencer excels on the straight course here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (2) (20/1 +0%)Elite Status |
20/1(+0%) | (2) Elite Status 20/1, Really smart colt on his day, as when landing Listed/Gr 3 wins at Newbury last season; each-way claims on those but much less good since, latest at York on last month's return. Needs to get back on track but may have needed reappearance run; might not be far away. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (1) (40/1 +20%)Annaf |
40/1(+20%) | (1) Annaf 40/1, Highly capable on his day, including winning a valuable near 7f contest in Saudi Arabia in early 2024 and C&D Gr 3 in 2023; cheekpieces now; plenty find on recent evidence. Step back in right direction last time; good record here and in big fields; interesting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (13) (6/1 +25%)Topgear |
6/1(+25%) | (13) Topgear 6/1, First 6f start since early 2023; progressed after joining this trainer last year and, after pacey displays in winning well at 7f last two times, much respected here. Impressive in 7f Group races the last twice & every chance he'll be fully effective at 6f. |

Last year's Commonwealth Cup hero Inisherin is back for more and showed more than enough when victorious in the Clipper at York to suggest he is set for a big run. French raider Lazzat romped home in Listed company at Chantilly last time and took the Prix Maurice de Gheest with the minimum of fuss last August, so he commands huge respect. However, a chance can be taken on TOPGEAR. Christopher Head's six-year-old comfortably struck in a Group 3 at Longchamp on his return and the drop back to this distance looks a good move. He may get the race run to suit and could be the one to beat.

Lazzat is a major player but SATONO REVE is taken to become the first Japanese-trained winner at Royal Ascot.

13/8(+19%) | (2) Circe 13/8, Ran about to form up 4lb and made plenty of use of when fifth beaten 3l off 91 last time; top jockey back on board; consistent sort; effective 6-8f and on any ground Failed in hat-trick bid at Epsom but still ran well on ground perhaps slower than optimal. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (7/1 +7%)Rebel Path |
7/1(+7%) | (7) Rebel Path 7/1, Probably raced too freely and touch below form fifth beaten 5l off 79 last time; scored off 72 by 2l previous start; not out of it if recapturing that form Impressive on the Rowley course last month but beaten on merit at Chelmsford latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (12/1 -9%)An Outlaw's Grace |
12/1(-9%) | (6) An Outlaw's Grace 12/1, Below form on return, possibly not stay and probably needed the race beaten 9l in a handicap over 7f at Newbury; down in trip, which will suit; off another short-break, but contender Looks on a tough mark and was well beaten on his return/h'cap debut in April; down in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (4) (7/1 -8%)Sudden Flight |
7/1(-8%) | (4) Sudden Flight 7/1, Well below novice/maiden form on handicap debut switched to turf beaten 8l over 5f at York last time; up in trip; has it to prove on grass Couldn't go the pace on handicap debut at York; still unexposed and 6f may help; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (10/1 -25%)Tattie Bogle |
10/1(-25%) | (8) Tattie Bogle 10/1, Better than previous start, but still below form beaten 3 1/4l off 80 over 8f at Chester last time; down in trip (won over it as a 2yo); seems best on a sound surface Inconsistent front-runner; drops back to 6f in a useful race; others appeal more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (14/1 +0%)Monsieur Beaulieu |
14/1(+0%) | (5) Monsieur Beaulieu 14/1, Every chance and bit better effort back on AW beaten 3 1/2l off 81 at Chelmsford last time; no reliable turf form, but nicely weighted on best of AW efforts String of good AW runs since November; his one lesser effort came on turf at Windsor. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (4/1 +38%)Buccabay |
4/1(+38%) | (3) Buccabay 4/1, Close to form when fifth beaten 3 1/4l off 87 last time; effective 5-6f and on any ground; should be thereabouts Windsor win last month has been well advertised since; fair run at Doncaster since; chance. |

CIRCE's winning run came to an end at Epsom recently, but she still ran well in fifth when upped to a higher grade. Returning to a sounder surface is a plus and she gets the vote ahead of Buccabay, who has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate success at Windsor last month. Gelded and having undergone wind surgery since last seen in Bahrain this January, Jubilee Walk remains a sprinter with potential.

The return to faster ground can see CIRCE (nap) resume winning ways. Sudden Flight and Buccabay are feared most.

22/1(-57%) | (4) Fiver Friday 22/1, Below par beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap over 9f at Gowran Park last time; in good form over hurdles prior; up in trip; minor chance Dual purpose mare; won off this mark last year but poor run at Gowran recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (6/1 +45%)Ob La Di |
6/1(+45%) | (5) Ob La Di 6/1, Below par beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap over 9f at Gowran Park last time; inconsistent; trainer in form; up in trip; outside chance if bringing best Slow away at Sligo when beaten 1.75l; caught out by pace of race at Gowran recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (33/1 -267%)La Guapisima |
33/1(-267%) | (3) La Guapisima 33/1, Probably needed race well beaten in a handicap over 8f at The Curragh latest; blinkers first time; up in trip; Listed winner in France; bit to find Listed winner and Group-placed in France; below par on stable debut; best form on soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (9/2 -80%)Navy Waters |
9/2(-80%) | (6) Navy Waters 9/2, Weak in the market when winning a maiden here by a nose last time; opening mark lenient; versatile ground wise; can follow up Lightly raced; twice second before winning over this C&D last time; likely more to come. |

Royal Entry held her own in His Majesty's Plate here and the drop in both class and trip is in her favour. Navy Waters made it third-time lucky in a C&D maiden on the same card, but SOUND OF LIGHTNING didn't really get the rub of the green on her handicap debut at Leopardstown and can take the necessary step forward from that promising fourth. Fiver Friday struggled at Gowran, but went down by a small margin in this last year.

NAVY WATERS won over C&D last time and was a close second on her two starts prior. She is lightly raced and can continue to improve.

1st (3) (7/4 -27%)Tactical Affair |
7/4(-27%) | (3) Tactical Affair 7/4, Travelled, comfortably, well treated on hurdle form, improved under positive ride landing a handicap by 10l off 99 at Stratford last time; trainer in form; remains well treated on hurdle form; threat Cashed in on eased mark at Stratford (2m1f, good); may be able to defy going back up 10lb. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (7/2 +65%)Bareback Jack |
7/2(+65%) | (1) Bareback Jack 7/2, Keen, well handicapped on novice form scored by 3l off 117 here penultimate start; below form, may have wanted easier ground 16th beaten 50l off 123 last time; prefers a sharp track; enjoys making it; good mark on hurdle form but risky on chase debut Hurdles winner in first-time tongue-tie here in April; belated chasing debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (11/8 -25%)Barranco |
11/8(-25%) | (4) Barranco 11/8, Travelled, easily, well treated up 7lb, improved again landing a handicap by 22l off 81 at Worcester last time; progressive course winner; can complete hat trick Transformed by tongue-tie to win here and at Worcester; 18lb rise may not stop him.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (14/1 -75%)Collingham |
14/1(-75%) | (2) Collingham 14/1, Ran to form won a claiming hurdle at Fakenham over 2m by 1 1/4l last time; consistent; unexposed over fences; may contend but vulnerable to better treated rival Two claiming hurdle wins since taking a handicap here last year; another stable debut.. |

Collingham joined Jake Coulson's yard after winning a claimer over hurdles at Fakenham last month and is respected, despite the runner-up doing little to boost the form in two subsequent starts. However, TACTICAL AFFAIR's 10-length romp at Stratford carries most substance and he gets a confident vote. The hat-trick seeking Barranco was also a facile winner on his latest start but an 18lb higher rating looks a harsh assessment.

The major hike in the weights may not deny BARRANCO the hat-trick. He's taken over chasing debutant Bareback Jack.

3rd (1) (11/2 +31%)Layfayette |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (40/1 -60%)Drawn To Dream |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (14/1 +30%)Lady Doris |
14/1(+30%) | (4) Lady Doris 14/1, Close to form in blinkers first-tim comfortably held in Vintage Tipple Stakes (Listed) over 1m6f at Gowran Park last time; usually consistent; down in trip; squeak Some solid efforts in defeat in this grade since last summer but has to find more to win. |

The Aidan O'Brien-trained QUEENSTOWN can make a winning seasonal reappearance. Last seen when finishing mid-division in the Newmarket Cesarewitch, the five-year-old is versatile when it comes to trip. Runner-up to Kyprios a couple of times last year, the son of Galileo has run well off the back of a break in previous campaigns. Given his proven stamina, jockey Ronan Whelan is likely to make this race a thorough test. The veteran Layfayette has every chance, despite arguably preferring an easier surface. Yet to hit form this term, the fitting of first-time cheekpieces could enhance his claims. Cork runner-up Lemsairbat showed enough promise to suggest that she can also make her presence felt.

Winner of this race in 2023, LAYFAYETTE has twice run well in defeat over shorter this season but this trip suits him best nowadays.

11th (10) (12/1 +25%)Andalseeyagraham |

LIMA SIERRA arrives in the best form having finished a promising second at Ripon before scoring at Catterick. The daughter of Kodi Bear is taken to continue her good progress and defy a 4lb rise. Baby Rover has a couple of lengths to find with the selection on running at Catterick but could still make the frame, while Bow Street looks worth a second glance back in this lower grade having won off a higher mark on the all-weather last year.

This looks a good opportunity for Nigel Tinkler's LIMA SIERRA to defy a 4lb weights rise and follow up her maiden Catterick success.

Homestrait has plenty to offer based on her three consecutive second-placed finishes and her reliability is a likeable attribute. However, MO OF CAIRO also filled the runner-up spot on his racecourse debut at Hamilton and given the winner of that race was a commendable third in the Windsor Castle at Royal Ascot on Wednesday, the son of Havana Grey gets the vote based on potential. The well-bred Sunny Smile was a noteworthy third when introduced over C&D last month and is another appealing contender.

Sunny Smile and Stoic Poet are both open to improvement but perhaps not so much as MO OF CAIRO, who shaped so well at Hamilton.

15th (8) (33/1 -65%)One Smack Mac |
33/1(-65%) | (8) One Smack Mac 33/1, Ran to form second beaten 1/2l in Owenstown Stud Stakes (Listed) at Naas latest; that form franked at Group level; trainer has shocking UK record; unproven on fast ground; bit to find Solid record; close second in Listed event at Naas five weeks ago; each-way possibilities. |

A strong Irish challenge will perhaps be headed by Comanche Brave, who chased home Field Of Gold when fifth in the Irish 2,000 Guineas last month. Saracen and California Dreamer are two others who bring high-class form to the table, but REMMOOZ could be the answer. A winner of two novice events at Doncaster, the latest of those coming in fine style under a penalty, he has the potential to be a real star performer and may well prove capable in these deeper waters. Seagulls Eleven struggled in the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket but should not be underestimated.

The most compelling claims are held by the progressive COMANCHE BRAVE (nap), whose dam Ishvana won this race in 2012.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (6/1 +50%)Merrijig |

A winner at Doncaster on his first attempt over this distance last time out, CURRAN is likely to have more improvement forthcoming on the back of that success and he can follow up off 2lb higher. Runner-up on his return to the turf at Goodwood most recently, Tides Of War is a key player on the drop in trip, as well as Red Flyer, who has dropped back to a mark 7lb below his last win.

There's a chance that CURRAN will be able to dictate in the same fashion as Doncaster and he's taken to follow up under Jack Callan.

In theory, Acapulco Bay should find this easier than the Group 3 and Listed races he has contested, but he must concede weight to some unexposed rivals. Precious little separated Glen To Glen and Mocking at Leopardstown back in March, although the former is also engaged at Royal Ascot. Vorfreude has kept good company in maidens, but so has KILMEADEN and his excellent Ballinrobe second to Wednesday's Queen's Vase hero Carmers means he could be really well treated off 85.

KILMEADEN gets the nod. His 1.25l second behind Queen's Vase winner Carmers at Ballinrobe suggests he could be very well treated off 85

OBSESSEDWITHYOU was a ready winner over two miles at Ffos Las last month and could be tough to reel in if the step back up in distance can be taken in her stride. Calli Black also rates a serious player based on an improved round of jumping when she scored at Worcester a fortnight ago. C&D winner Fancy Stuff and Lost Connections can also figure with their stamina not in question.

If Obsessedwithyou and Calli Black do take each other on this time, SPECIAL DRAGON may have the quality to capitalise.

Unlucky in running when sixth here earlier this month, FAIRE LA NOUBA can gain compensation. The John O'Neill-trained colt started his campaign with a run in the Chester Vase and, almost certainly better than a mark of 67, the son of River Boyne looks to have been presented with a nice opportunity to register a first career success. All Told, who caught the eye more than once over the winter, should relish this step up in trip. While he already has every chance on official ratings, the extra distance should bring about improvement. His stablemate, the lightly-raced Denim And Diamonds, merits consideration too.

FAIRE LA NOUBA was unlucky not to have been closer off 67 in a handicap over a furlong shorter here last time and can win.

12th (15) (100/1 -257%)Fasnelli |

RAVISHING BEAUTY was a solid fourth here last month and that effort looks better in hindsight given the third has subsequently won. This looks less competitive and Jedd O'Keeffe's charge is worthy of another chance off her current mark. Jesmond Dawn is only 2lb higher than when successful at Ripon last term and he could bounce back at any time, while Top Gun Tina has a shout on her second at Carlisle in May.

Richard Fahey's lightly raced MWAFAQ is worth siding with to build on earlier promise and get off the mark.

14/1(+0%) | (5) Moon Flight 14/1, Won this last year; slowly away well beaten in a handicap at Beverley latest; wide draw; off a short-break; back below last winning mark; acts on fast ground; others preferred Won this last year off 2lb higher; not found his best form in three runs this year. |

Linda Perratt's Moon Flight won this off 2lb higher last year but LION'S HOUSE could be the yard's flag bearer this time if he handles switching to turf after resuming winning ways over 5f at Southwell three weeks ago. Although a surprise winner on the day, the son of Oasis Dream was rated higher as a juvenile and a 4lb rise should be manageable. Fellow last-time-out winner Master Of My Fate is feared the most, while Water Of Leith loves it here and also commands respect.

Water Of Leith should go well but MON NA SLIEVE drops in grade and brings some strong turf formlines into the race.

3/1(+45%) | (21) More Thunder 3/1, Yard won this last year; has been reinvented as a 6f colt by new trainer this season with two Newmarket wins, last time flying at the finish; this stiffer 6f should suit; major shout. Proving his worth over 6f for this yard, winning both starts; this stiff test can suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (10) (18/1 +28%)Ten Pounds |
18/1(+28%) | (10) Ten Pounds 18/1, Won at Newmarket (7f) on reappearance before down the field in top 7f handicap here; tongue-tie first time; needs a bit more even on best form and drop to 6f an unknown. Progressive at 7f until well below best latest; now tongue tied; 6f could suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (29) (28/1 +30%)Holkham Bay |
28/1(+30%) | (29) Holkham Bay 28/1, Two wins here last season (5f/6f) but not done enough this spring to make much appeal in race as competitive as this and bit more dig in the ground probably ideal too. Suited by big-field sprints and in fine form on this track in 2024 over 5f and 6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (23) (7/1 +65%)Completely Random |
7/1(+65%) | (23) Completely Random 7/1, Two 6f wins in April before highly respectable run off this higher mark at Newbury; that run suggests that others here are better-weighted. Progressive and better than his latest run behind Aramram at Newbury; might yet find more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (18) (11/2 +35%)Aramram |
11/2(+35%) | (18) Aramram 11/2, Metronomic consistency this season, last time gaining deserved win at Newbury; up 4lb but solid each-way shout under man-of-the-moment Ryan Moore. Improved last autumn; solid 6f form of late, twice 2nd to More Thunder before Newbury win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (40/1 -21%)Apollo One |
40/1(-21%) | (1) Apollo One 40/1, Just one well-held run this season, in April; second in this last year among several excellent efforts in top handicaps in his time and though 12lb higher now, better form later in 2024; claims. Fine record in the top sprint handicaps; Group 3 winner over C&D in October; high mark now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (40/1 -21%)Korker |
40/1(-21%) | (6) Korker 40/1, Possibly to construct a form case for him off this mark but on a losing run and always the worry that he'll blow the start again; others are more solid. Excellent 3rd of 25 in the Ayr Gold Cup; this rugged test might be too much for him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (12/1 +25%)Purosangue |
12/1(+25%) | (7) Purosangue 12/1, Not beaten far at Newmarket last time, looking poised to strike peak form now on third run of his season; fair mark and jockey rides the straight track here superbly; respected. Hasn't won since 2yo days but very capable at 6f on his day and too talented to leave out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (28) (66/1 -32%)Jumby |
66/1(-32%) | (28) Jumby 66/1, Dual Group-race winner in his time but seems to gone backwards since being gelded in autumn 2023 and opposable on recent evidence; 7f probably better too. Third in the 2022 running; low key this year; down the weights; rare to see him at 6f now. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (13) (66/1 -230%)Twilight Calls |
66/1(-230%) | (13) Twilight Calls 66/1, 7yo isn't the force of old and though he has a commensurately lower mark, limited appeal down in grade on recent Group-race evidence; stamina a major worry over this stiff 6f here. Classy in his time; struggling for new yard; likely high in weights now back in handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (5) (5/1 +44%)Jarraaf |
5/1(+44%) | (5) Jarraaf 5/1, Respectable reappearance fourth in Listed race at Salisbury latest was possibly needed; ended last season with series of in-form, progressive runs over C&D, fair mark; claims. Impressive in two C&D handicaps in 2024; beaten favourite on return; this test will suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (3) (10/1 +60%)Zoum Zoum |
10/1(+60%) | (3) Zoum Zoum 10/1, Sound reappearance second in Listed race at Salisbury (6f; good to firm) latest allayed concerns that he needs give in the ground; each-way claims if in same form again. Good 5th in the Group 3 Jersey (7f) last June; equally effective at 6f; may do better yet. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (22) (25/1 +24%)Golden Mind |
25/1(+24%) | (22) Golden Mind 25/1, Back to form with latest second at Epsom and ran well at this meeting last year, both at 7f; did win at 6f on AW in the winter and a contender if in same form as last time. Close third in Listed race here as 2yo; back to form latest; first 6f turf handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (16) (16/1 +43%)Cover Up |
16/1(+43%) | (16) Cover Up 16/1, Capable handicap who has possibilities on best form; however, though he's won at 6f, his optimum is 5f and there's a concern that his stamina will fail him late on over this stiff six. 6f winner on AW; close 5th in Stewards' Cup in 2024; tougher test today; now tongue tied. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
16th (4) (40/1 -60%)City House |
40/1(-60%) | (4) City House 40/1, Ran well enough when run was probably needed last time and stiff 6f on this ground is fine but others look better-weighted. Shot up weights for good spell in Bahrain; never-nearer 6th on AW latest; stiff task. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
17th (15) (20/1 +0%)Orazio |
20/1(+0%) | (15) Orazio 20/1, Below-par down the field run in a handicap at York last time, eight months ago; needs to rediscover peak form, such as when third in this last year (came from well back); claims on that. Maddening but very capable and a close third in this last year; can go well fresh. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
18th (26) (40/1 -100%)Germanic |
40/1(-100%) | (26) Germanic 40/1, Unproven on fast ground and that is a significant question; two promising runs for this yard, latest in a decent race on Newcastle AW (6f); not ruled out. Strong AW form at 6f on second start for yard; it wouldn't surprise to see him go well. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
19th (24) (20/1 +0%)Woodhay Wonder |
20/1(+0%) | (24) Woodhay Wonder 20/1, Four of her five wins at Newmarket but two good runs here last season suggest that Newmarket stat is just a coincidence; looks a bit too high in the weights to win a race of this nature. Two close calls over 5f here; suited by Newmarket and might have run better there latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
20th (25) (100/1 -100%)Noble Truth |
100/1(-100%) | (25) Noble Truth 100/1, Won 7f Gr 3 on this card in 2022 but very little racing and precious little signs of that old ability remaining in three runs since; 4,200gns buy out of David O'Meara's yard; opposed. Made all in the Jersey as a 3yo; poor form in 2025 back from absence; sold 4,200gns since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
21st (20) (100/1 -257%)Roman Dragon |
100/1(-257%) | (20) Roman Dragon 100/1, All six British wins have been at Chester, including last time (5f, though has won at 6f too); down the field in this last year; would appeal much more at the Roodeye. Best form at Chester, winning there in May; never involved in this race last year (100-1). |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
22nd (27) (28/1 -12%)Saint Lawrence |
28/1(-12%) | (27) Saint Lawrence 28/1, Won this in 2023 and 3lb lower today; however, most recently runs on AW, latest back from three months off in April, leave 7yo with plenty to prove; change of headgear. Won this in 2023; never reached the frame in 2024; needs to return to his best pronto. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
23rd (2) (40/1 +0%)Valiant Force |
40/1(+0%) | (2) Valiant Force 40/1, Gr 2 winner here (5f) as a 2yo; patchy more recently; this return to 6f may well help but something to prove. Won Group 2 Norfolk here in 2023; three AW wins over the winter; first turf handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
24th (14) (100/1 -100%)Desert Cop |
100/1(-100%) | (14) Desert Cop 100/1, Possibly needed the race when down the field over 5f at Epsom most recent; would have liked to have seen more from him there, though; 6f suits better but bit to prove. In form for new yard until well held latest and wasn't good enough in this race last year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
25th (9) (16/1 +20%)Shartash |
16/1(+20%) | (9) Shartash 16/1, This is an attractive mark on pick of his form but he wasn't firing when last seen out in early April and risky proposition in cheekpieces now. Hampered on last two AW starts; had 6f Group-race form last summer and is down the weights. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
26th (12) (125/1 -89%)Game Run |
125/1(-89%) | (12) Game Run 125/1, Gr 2 winner back in 2023; handicaps more his thing nowadays, last time narrow winner at Chantilly; unproven on fast ground; probably vulnerable. Won good-ground Group 2 in 2023 but vast majority of best form on good to soft or slower. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
27th (19) (25/1 +24%)We Never Stop |
25/1(+24%) | (19) We Never Stop 25/1, Likeable sort who was in good form on the AW prior to latest down-the-field run back on grass (acts on it, including on fast ground); others look better-weighted. Three AW wins at 6f since November; well held on return to turf latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
28th (17) (50/1 -52%)Vadream |
50/1(-52%) | (17) Vadream 50/1, Ran pretty well in Gr 1 over C&D here last June but 7yo has been very patchy more recently and more juice in the ground would suit ideally too; opposable. Group 3 winner over C&D who often runs well here; well below best so far this year. |

JARRAAF, a previous course-and-distance winner, failed to land the odds on his return in Listed company at Salisbury last month, but he could prove better with that outing under his belt and his stable's runners are going well at present. The hat-trick seeking More Thunder, Aramram and Woodhay Wonder are all closely matched and are shortlisted, while Get It impressed in scoring over track and trip last time and cannot be left out of calculations.

Jarraaf is suited by this C&D and can go well but MORE THUNDER looks as though he'll have more to give on this stiff 6f.

1st (1) (6/1 -33%)Scattering Light |
6/1(-33%) | (1) Scattering Light 6/1, Ran to best switched to making the running beaten 3/4l off 72 at Windsor last time; generally consistent and should go well Consistent since handicapping; stiffer 6f should be fine if she settles better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (7/1 -8%)Alondra |
7/1(-8%) | (6) Alondra 7/1, Ran to form beaten a length off 72 at Windsor last time; in good heart and likely to threaten again off same mark Plenty of toe and did her racing in the spring over 5f; today's stiffer track is a concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (8/1 +50%)Miss Collada |
8/1(+50%) | (3) Miss Collada 8/1, Below par, possibly sitting too far back and never much racing room beaten 10l in a handicap over 7f at Sandown last time; in good form prior; down in trip, which may not be ideal now a 3yo Drop back in trip may help as she's often inclined to pull hard; capable of better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (7) (5/1 +23%)Diamont Katie |
5/1(+23%) | (7) Diamont Katie 5/1, Yard won this last year; better effort beaten 2l off 72 at Chester last time; signs of a return to form, but more needed to win this Not had much luck since handicapping; leading claims for last year's successful yard. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (10) (22/1 -175%)Juno Star |
22/1(-175%) | (10) Juno Star 22/1, Every chance, ran to form beaten 2l off 59 at Goodwood last time; mark looks fair and yard in quite good form; not out of tight race Offered more at Goodwood; this looks a deeper race but she's open to further improvement. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (9) (28/1 -40%)Ironist |
28/1(-40%) | (9) Ironist 28/1, Similar modest form to first two runs switched to turf beaten 5l in a maiden at Windsor last time; not proven trip; could be unexposed Shown promise, along with signs of inexperience, in three runs to date; more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (4) (9/4 +50%)Dark Rosa |
9/4(+50%) | (4) Dark Rosa 9/4, Too much to do beaten 2l off 73 at Windsor last time; on a dangerous mark now and should threaten the places Shown enough in three runs for this yard to suggest this mark is within range; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (14/1 -87%)Maddelina |
14/1(-87%) | (2) Maddelina 14/1, Backed up novice form on handicap debut beaten 2l off 73 at Thirsk last time; still open to some improvement; could contend Lightly raced; shapes as though a stiff 6f will be fine back on faster ground; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (20/1 -11%)Fiorella Princess |
20/1(-11%) | (8) Fiorella Princess 20/1, Below form in cheekpieces first-time when well beaten in a handicap over 5f at Yarmouth latest; in good form prior; blinkers first time here and up in trip (stays); generally consistent Stiff 6f may be enough of a test switched to blinkers; starting to look exposed anyway. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (13/2 -44%)Bintjan |
13/2(-44%) | (5) Bintjan 13/2, Ran to form third beaten a length off 72 last time; down in trip, but ran well over it as a 2yo and ultra-consistent; one to consider Better since handicapping on turf but needs more again back down to sprinting. |

A highly encouraging second at Windsor last time out, SCATTERING LIGHT should be suited by the nature of this contest against her own sex and the booking of Hector Crouch will not inconvenience either. Bintjan has been plying her trade well over further of late and dropping in trip may not be ideal, but she has the form to go close in this. The consistent Alondra is another to note, as well as Diamont Katie.

A tightly knit handicap can go to DIAMONT KATIE, who's had little luck since switched to turf. Dark Rosa is second choice.

1st (1) (3/1 +25%)Billie Frechette |
3/1(+25%) | (1) Billie Frechette 3/1, Ran to form scored by a neck off 55 over 2m at Dundalk three starts back; suited by the ground, mark up second beaten 3/4l off 107 last time over hurdles; down in trip; significant jockey booking; strong claims Won on AW off 55 in March; pleasing second over hurdles last time; leading candidate. |

2nd (10) (11/8 +27%)Arcland |
11/8(+27%) | (10) Arcland 11/8, Well backed when landing a handicap by 3/4l off 40 at Navan last time; trainer in form; in the mix if getting stiff test Second over hurdles before winning over 1m5f at Navan for Cromwell; up 7lb but good chance. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (13/2 +35%)Jarvis Brook |
13/2(+35%) | (4) Jarvis Brook 13/2, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap over 8f at Gowran Park most recent; in good form over hurdles; longer trip a plus; each way claims Well-backed on seasonal return but well beaten; may come on from that but needs more. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (8/1 -14%)Steps In The Sand |
8/1(-14%) | (6) Steps In The Sand 8/1, Ran to form beaten 4l in a handicap at Navan last time; generally out of form over hurdles prior; significant jockey booking; on fair mark; place claims Good run back on the Flat when 4l behind Arcland recently; poor over hurdles previously. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (33/1 +18%)Jazzy Rock |
33/1(+18%) | (8) Jazzy Rock 33/1, Below par down the field in a handicap over 12f at Galway most recent; in good form prior; absent for very lengthy period; up in trip; wants easier ground Absent since poor run at Galway in 2023; good second prior to that; best form on soft. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (15) (20/1 +20%)Highland Bells |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (12) (9/1 -20%)You Make Me Smile |
9/1(-20%) | (12) You Make Me Smile 9/1, Something in hand scored by 3l off 74 over 2m1f at Clonmel three starts back; fifth beaten 5l off 47 last time; down in trip; in good form in both codes; chance Winner on penultimate start; upped in trip and not a bad fifth last time; up 6lb since win. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (14) (25/1 -56%)Applejack Poet |
25/1(-56%) | (14) Applejack Poet 25/1, Every chance, bit below form 23l third in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Tramore most recent run; not proven trip; beaten by well treated rival last time; unexposed in this sphere; very interesting Sole win came over hurdles two years ago; runs on the Flat nothing to shout about. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (80/1 -142%)Guest Star |
80/1(-142%) | (2) Guest Star 80/1, Yard won this last year; hampered early, never competitive down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m2f at Sligo most recent; usually held up; not proven trip; must bounce back on flat return Sole win came at Dundalk in January; poor runs in handicaps and over hurdles since. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (5) (12/1 -20%)Jawhary |
12/1(-20%) | (5) Jawhary 12/1, Ran to form beaten 3l off 53 over 10f at Fairyhouse last time; up in trip; threat but long losing run a concern Likely on a workable mark after staying on for third last time; return to 1m5f should suit. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (3) (40/1 +20%)Stormy Jenn |
40/1(+20%) | (3) Stormy Jenn 40/1, Below par beaten 8 1/4l in a handicap over 10f at Fairyhouse last time; generally out of form; not proven trip; form going the wrong way in both codes Dual-purpose mare out of form in both codes; finished well behind Jawhary on recent start. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (7) (66/1 -313%)Gregorina |
66/1(-313%) | (7) Gregorina 66/1, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap over 10f at Fairyhouse most recent; generally out of form; up in trip; easy to look elsewhere Last win off 4lb higher in 2024 but has shown little since then; needs to bounce back. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (9) (66/1 -32%)Tiffany Mae |
66/1(-32%) | (9) Tiffany Mae 66/1, Down the field in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Clonmel most recent; generally out of form; cheekpieces first time; not proven trip; readily opposed Fourth last year from 13lb higher mark pick of form; poor on AW and over hurdles recently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (13) (25/1 -79%)Lightning Legs |
25/1(-79%) | (13) Lightning Legs 25/1, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap at Navan most recent; inconsistent; basement mark not enough to recommend Returned from break when 11l behind Arcland recently; low mileage and entitled to improve. |

ARCLAND has been a revelation since joining the Gavin Cromwell yard and a 7lb rise for his most recent success at Navan over slightly further may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Four lengths behind him on that occasion was Steps In The Sand (fifth), who is also open to more improvement with Shane Foley an eye-catching booking. A highly creditable third over shorter at Fairyhouse last time out, Jawhary could relish going back up in trip, while Billie Frechette has been a consistent sort of late under both codes.

JAWHARY has been dropping down the handicap and showed signs he may be capable of exploiting his mark when third recently

2nd (3) (1/1 +17%)Leading Force |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (5/1 +29%)Cap Du Nord |
5/1(+29%) | (4) Cap Du Nord 5/1, Outpaced, unsuited by drop in trip fourth beaten 51l in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Worcester latest; step up in trip a plus; looks regressive Plummeting down the weights; trip/ground fine; may revive for refitted cheekpieces.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (16/1 -256%)Old Page |
16/1(-256%) | (5) Old Page 16/1, Loves the track, improved landing a handicap by a neck off 91 over 3m2f at Sedgefield last time; down in trip; off a short-break; thriving since getting head in front; can make presence felt once more Won twice at Sedgefield (3m2f) on latest starts; highest-ever mark asks a question.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (2) (12/1 0%)Great D'ange |
12/1(0%) | (2) Great D'ange 12/1, Needed run fourth beaten 30l in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Stratford latest; step up in trip a huge plus; good mark on autumn form; can give a good account Entitled to have derived benefit from recent return; last defied this mark in late 2022.. |

LEADING FORCE fell for the first time under Rules when he seemingly failed to adapt to racing in a visor at Worcester a fortnight ago. He can atone for that uncharacteristic mishap, with cheekpieces reemployed instead. A ready winner in the same headgear at Uttoxeter on his penultimate start, the eight-year-old should also benefit from Sean Bowen being back in the saddle. Old Page can figure if he transfers his Sedgefield form to this venue, while Cap Du Nord appeals off a competitive mark.

Although no complete certainty himself, LEADING FORCE is taken to account for three rivals on high marks and one declining power.

10/1(-33%) | (2) Lough Leane 10/1, Beaten 10l in a handicap over 7f at Cork last time; in good form prior; up in trip; unexposed over 12f; interesting First two runs for this yard full of promise; found 7f too sharp last time; not discounted. |

7th (4) (50/1 -178%)Nostra Casa |
50/1(-178%) | (4) Nostra Casa 50/1, Slowly away well beaten in a handicap at Gowran Park latest; usually consistent; unproven on fast ground; could figure but needs stiff test Has plenty of work to do to get closer to Lough Leane judged on latest Gowran run. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (40/1 -150%)Pidoyne |
40/1(-150%) | (3) Pidoyne 40/1, Better than bare form, stiff mark, below form down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Tramore most recent; returning from long layoff; not proven trip; unproven on fast ground; best watched Has gone well fresh in the past but likely to need this after 309 days off the track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (7) (100/1 -203%)Ehteyat |
100/1(-203%) | (7) Ehteyat 100/1, Below par comfortably held in a handicap at Gowran Park last time; generally out of form; significant jockey booking; needs to get back to level of UK form to figure Two AW wins for George Boughey in 2023; well behind Lough Leane at Gowran on latest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (9) (66/1 -371%)Glory Sky |
66/1(-371%) | (9) Glory Sky 66/1, Did not get a clear run well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m1f at Killarney latest; generally out of form; not proven trip; unproven on fast ground; bit to find back on flat Well beaten all four starts over hurdles for this yard; hard to make a case for on Flat. |

BARROGSTOWN GIRL has shaped well enough on her two most recent starts to suggest that she is ready to add to her three previous victories. Successful at this track last July, the Jarlath Fahey-trained mare has been largely consistent in subsequent runs. Despite stepping up in grade, the five-year-old is worth siding with in a competitive affair. The booking of Ronan Whelan also catches the eye given that connections have claimed off her in recent times. Burren Song has yet to win for Ciaran Murphy, but has shown promise in a few outings. The upside is that the seven-year-old is now looking a well-handicapped horse. Junkyard Dog has to be of interest taking on his elders.

Barrogstown Girl and JUNKYARD DOG look set to fight out the finish but it's the latter who can come out on top

11/2(+21%) | (2) Insanity 11/2, Probably needed race comfortably held in a handicap over 12f at Newmarket last time; up in trip; significant jockey booking; just 2lb above last winning mark; contender Recent efforts a little disappointing but last month's reappearance may have been needed. |

5th (7) (7/4 +65%)Westerton |
7/4(+65%) | (7) Westerton 7/4, Raced freely 5l third in a handicap over 10f at Epsom most recent run; up in trip; consistent; well treated on old form; leading player Just a maiden win to his name but has shaped quite well in 1m2f handicaps lately. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (18/1 -64%)Fox Journey |
18/1(-64%) | (6) Fox Journey 18/1, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap over 12f at Haydock most recent; inconsistent; up in trip; back below last winning mark; risky Wide-margin win at Newmarket last May but hasn't matched that since, including yard debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (14/1 +0%)La Pulga |
14/1(+0%) | (8) La Pulga 14/1, Below par down the field in a handicap over 12f at York most recent; in poor form prior; enjoys making it; up in trip; form going the wrong way Last of 12 at York Dante meeting last month but he's not type to stay down for long. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (25/1 -108%)Annaghmccanns |
25/1(-108%) | (3) Annaghmccanns 25/1, Plenty to do, did well under the circumstances, improved landing a handicap by 3/4l off 73 over 11f at Dundalk three starts back; beaten in Victor McCalmont Memorial (Listed) last time where outclassed; usually held up; up in trip; stiff mark Dual AW winner and good fifth on the first of two Listed runs on turf this spring. |

Wind and gelding operations seem to have had a very positive impact on CREATIF, who has registered a win and two second-placed finishes since undergoing those procedures. With the likelihood of further improvement over this longer trip, the David O'Meara-trained four-year-old can kick on further on just his seventh career start. The ultra-tough La Pulga is a prime candidate to make this a good test from the front end, while Westerton and Oneforthegutter should also be on the premises.

Creatif (second choice) can extend his run of good efforts to start the year but preference is for Alan King's WESTERTON.

1st (10) (12/1 +0%)Quai De Bethune |
12/1(+0%) | (10) Quai De Bethune 12/1, AW winner who ran very well when running-on third upped to 10f in very good Newbury handicap on just second turf start latest; yard in-form; respected. Rather outpaced by winner 2f out in London Gold Cup but kept on well to lose by under 2l. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (11/4 +39%)Seraph Gabriel |
11/4(+39%) | (5) Seraph Gabriel 11/4, Progressive colt who was improved second (briefly hampered) upped to 1m at Sandown on seasonal debut last time; elements of pedigree encouraging stamina-wise; respected. Upped from 1m; also up 4lb but it looks as if he'll stay and is capable of better for sure. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (4/1 +47%)Best Secret |
4/1(+47%) | (4) Best Secret 4/1, Improved form on handicap debut at Longchamp (10f) last time; unproven on fast ground; has changed owners since last time (same yard); worth a market check. Won handicap debut at Longchamp (1m2f) in April, passing 14 of his 15 rivals to win by 3l. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (7) (66/1 -164%)Basalt |
66/1(-164%) | (7) Basalt 66/1, Ran quite well on reappearance at Goodwood last month; cheekpieces first time now need to help spark some improvement; stamina isn't proven either. Four races, the last two Listed, and progressing well; needs more in his first cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (14) (33/1 +0%)War Socks |
33/1(+0%) | (14) War Socks 33/1, 7l third in Listed race over 8f at Meydan before winning in Sweden (1m); hard to tie that form in with these but intriguing that very experienced Norwegian yard make rare foray here. From an unusual source to be a Royal Ascot winner but he's not one to dismiss lightly. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (33/1 -136%)Aurel |
33/1(-136%) | (8) Aurel 33/1, Made it two from three when just holding on at Leicester (10f) last time; this opening mark demands more and Rossa Ryan switches to stablemate Seraph Gabriel. Has looked raw and a work in progress but he's 2-3 and brings potential to handicap debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (18/1 +28%)Tycoon |
18/1(+28%) | (3) Tycoon 18/1, Thrice-raced colt who was third in Listed race at Goodwood most recent run; steadily progressive; cheekpieces first time; sold for £600,000 on Monday (same yard); respected. Listed third at Goodwood (1m3f, good) and could be a very useful prospect; cheekpieces. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (17) (28/1 -40%)Brindavan |
28/1(-40%) | (17) Brindavan 28/1, Progressive sort who was C&D winner last time; up 6lb in a better race now and more is needed. Won C&D handicap latest but with only six runners; 6lb higher in this much tougher contest. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (1) (66/1 -100%)Rock Of Cashel |
66/1(-100%) | (1) Rock Of Cashel 66/1, Appeared not to stay over 12f at Leopardstown latest; blinkers first time; dropped in grade but looks exposed and Moore looks elsewhere. Minor supporting roles in Group 1s as 2yo; the same this term in Group 3s and Listed race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
11th (9) (5/1 +69%)Dakota Blue |
5/1(+69%) | (9) Dakota Blue 5/1, Gradually progressive; ran well when beaten a short-head at Navan last time on handicap debut; each-way claims at least. Pipped from well off the pace in 1m2f handicap at Navan, travelling smoothly and battling. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
12th (13) (25/1 -56%)Fantazy Man |
25/1(-56%) | (13) Fantazy Man 25/1, Progressing well, following up claiming-race win with 10f Fairyhouse handicap success; respected form-wise but Ben Coen jumps ship and this faster ground not sure to suit. Cheekpieces for last two starts and he found plenty for pressure to win them comfortably. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
13th (6) (12/1 +0%)El Burhan |
12/1(+0%) | (6) El Burhan 12/1, Improved reappearance winner in first-time tongue tie at Chester (7.6f); this calls for more; pedigree encouraging stamina-wise up in trip. Up 2lb after winning in a bunched finish at Chester (7.6f) but he's bred to relish 1m2f+. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
14th (12) (20/1 -43%)Roosevelt |
20/1(-43%) | (12) Roosevelt 20/1, 950,000gns yearling; thrice-raced colt; 12f maiden winner two starts back before dropped back, intriguingly, to 7f latest (well beaten;) tongue-tie first time; top yard; potential improver. 1m4f maiden win before last of ten on handicap debut but that latest run was over just 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15th (11) (10/1 +9%)Ernst Blofeld |
10/1(+9%) | (11) Ernst Blofeld 10/1, Lightly-raced colt who ran to form in good race at Newbury last time; cheekpieces first time; could do with settling better; not far away and there's still the chance of improvement. Retains potential after London Gold Cup 4th, still something to learn; cheekpieces go on. |

SALLAAL beat only four rivals when scoring easily over the extended mile at Hamilton, but both the second and third have boosted that form subsequently. Pedigree suggests the son of Frankel will relish this extra distance and Roger Varian's charge looks on a potentially lenient mark now handicapping. Seraph Gabriel also steps up in trip, having finished second in a competitive contest at Sandown on his handicap bow, and he warrants serious consideration. Fast ground is an unknown for the French challenger Best Secret, with Ernst Blofeld, who also sports the Wathnan colours, preferred on his respectable fourth at Newbury last month.

High draws have firmly had the call in previous editions and SERAPH GABRIEL from stall 16 is a strong candidate this time round.

13/8(+64%) | (6) Light Up The Dark 13/8, Below par well beaten in a maiden at Tipperary latest; top course trainer; much more to come judged on Listed bumper win; probably one for handicaps 2-2 in bumpers on sft-hvy (incl' Listed), no show in two Flat starts, may need it softer. |

11/1(-120%) | (2) Boxing Great 11/1, Improved from debut fourth beaten 2l in a maiden over 11f at Dundalk latest; returning from long layoff; tongue-tie first time; step up in trip a plus; contender Promise both starts for former yard, lacks a recent run, tongue tie goes on, watch market. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (5/2 +29%)First Ascent |
5/2(+29%) | (3) First Ascent 5/2, Ran to form second beaten a nose in a maiden over 10f here latest beating useful bumper performer; steadily progressive; up in trip; can get off the mark Improved for each run, narrowly denied here over 10.5f latest, go close if he stays. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (15/2 -114%)Arctic Bresil |
15/2(-114%) | (1) Arctic Bresil 15/2, Yard won this last year; may have found ground a bit quick comfortably held in the Rated Hurdle over 2m1f at Wexford last time; generally out of form; back in trip; useful jumper at best but best watched on flat debut Lost form over jumps, 8yo now makes belated Flat debut, has stamina but others preferred. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (8/1 +20%)Astelia |
8/1(+20%) | (4) Astelia 8/1, Second beaten 5l in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Listowel latest; inconsistent; not proven trip; squeak Promise in 2022, decent hurdles run after layoff, go well if this doesn't come too soon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (9/2 -13%)Stariam |
9/2(-13%) | (7) Stariam 9/2, Well treated at weights a length third in a handicap over 12f at Roscommon most recent run; back to form that day; may contend Front runner, second in this last year, beaten off 69 in h'cap after break, place chance. |

First Ascent showed a good attitude when just touched off here on his third career start and is entitled to be in the mix once again. However, it wouldn't be a huge surprise if the fifth from that contest, COLPE CROSS, proved capable of reversing the form. The daughter of Le Havre finished her race off well on that debut and the step up in trip should yield improvement. Boxing Great and Arctic Bresil head the remainder.

COLPE CROSS wasn't that far behind First Ascent on her debut and she may be able to reverse that form over this longer trip

3/1(-20%) | (4) Lenny's Spirit 3/1, Back to form when dropped in trip, winning a handicap by 6l off 58 here last time. Best form at 10f and acts on sound surface, though action is really suited to soft. Easy win here on recent stable debut; up 10lb but he's a big player again back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (5/2 -11%)Laser Focus |
5/2(-11%) | (5) Laser Focus 5/2, Bit below form when up 4lb and down in trip, finishing fourth beaten 3l off 59 last time. Trainer in form. Probably wants 12f ideally and the one to beat. Won at Beverley and had excuse when turned out quickly at Brighton; not ruled out. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (15/8 +71%)Detroit Lion |
15/8(+71%) | (2) Detroit Lion 15/8, Below par for no obvious reason when finishing down the field in a handicap at Kempton on latest start. Unproven on fast ground and returns from a short break. Stays 12f. 0-8 and he flopped at Kempton last time; needs to bounce back after short break. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (3/1 +10%)Francesco Baracca |
3/1(+10%) | (1) Francesco Baracca 3/1, Back to form when returned to a longer trip, landing a handicap by 3/4l off a mark of 68 over 1m6f at Bath last time. Ideally wants 14f or further. Got back on the scoresheet at Bath (1m6f) and he's only 2lb higher here; respected. |

Francesco Baracca returned to winning ways over 1m6f at Bath earlier in the month and can cope with this drop in distance to go close, but he might come out second best to LENNY'S SPIRIT. The seven-year-old made a highly encouraging first start for the Denis Quinn stable when bolting up over 1m2f at this venue last month. He has a 10lb higher rating to contend with, but that is unlikely to prevent him from going in again. Laser Focus is the pick of the remainder.

The vote goes to LENNY'S SPIRIT, who took advantage of a reduced mark when scoring by 6l here on his recent stable debut.

8th (8) (150/1 -500%)Urban Rhythm |

SOLENT GATEWAY got off the mark in this sphere over track and trip earlier in the month and sets the standard with an official rating of 112. It would be no surprise to see him defy his 7lb penalty, with the main threat possibly One Cool Dreamer. Alan King's four-year-old could only manage fourth on his first outing over timber at Warwick, but he should take a step forward to have a say. Granny B looks best of the rest.

This looks best left to SOLENT GATEWAY to follow up his win over C&D 15 days ago. One Cool Dreamer looks second best.

8th (2) (11/2 -100%)Enchanting |
11/2(-100%) | (2) Enchanting 11/2, Always going best, quickened clear and still going away line won a handicap at Goodwood by 4l last time; hugely progressive; versatile ground wise; strong claims up in grade Last three wins were at Goodwood; dangerous on best form; quick ground would be a worry. |

Top-rated Electric Storm was far from disgraced in the Temple last time out and is sure to give her running at this lower level, but it was hard not to be impressed with ENCHANTING, who put her rivals to the sword at Goodwood on seasonal debut last month. The daughter of Blue Point looks more than ready to tackle a contest of this nature now, and she is fancied to find the necessary improvement. First Instinct finished third in the Sandy Lane recently and, in receipt of weight from the aforementioned pair, must be noted.

First Instinct is solid but a chance is taken with ROSY AFFAIR who shaped as if this drop in trip would suit on her reappearance.

9/2(+10%) | (1) Aajej 9/2, Masar gelding; half-brother to West Wind Blows, high-class at 12f; dam high-class at 12f; yard can get them ready first time; of interest if supported in the betting Lots to like on paper and he needs watching in market on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (28/1 +15%)Spooky Wooky |
28/1(+15%) | (5) Spooky Wooky 28/1, Gregorian gelding; half-brother to Haunted Dream, high-class at 11f; dam moderate at 10f; rivals set good standard; best watched Gelded half-brother to four winners; this looks a tough starting point and is best watched. |

Bred in the purple with his dam a multiple Group 1 winner, BURJ ZABEEL should be capable of breaking the maiden on his first go over 1m4f. He's had a gelding operation since being narrowly denied at Redcar last month. Another one with a lofty pedigree, Alibey didn't show much first time out at Goodwood but stepping up in trip on a more conventional track is likely to suit, while Maraaheb is likely to give his running.

This looks a good opportunity for BURJ ZABEEL, who sets a clear standard on her close call behind an odds-on rival at Redcar.

1st (1) (4/5 +12%)Sober |
4/5(+12%) | (1) Sober 4/5, Yard won this in 2021 and 2022; hurdles debut win on stable debut last time but it's more relevant here to reflect on his very good back Flat form; good chance he'll stay this far. Quality stayer in France; won over hurdles on stable debut; trainer won this four times. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (3) (10/3 +44%)Samui |
10/3(+44%) | (3) Samui 10/3, Yard won this in 2016 and 2018; good third in a handicap over 1m6f here on Tuesday; stays 2m1f but unproven at further; leading form contender on quick return if seeing it out. Finished strongly for third in a 1m6f handicap here on Tuesday; can be a bit hit and miss. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (11) (11/1 -100%)Wild Waves |
11/1(-100%) | (11) Wild Waves 11/1, Decent 3yo last season but form has levelled off now and no further progress this year; ran to form in Italy last time; stays 14f, untried at further; needs to find a bit extra to win this. Respectable form last season but yet to recapture that this campaign; unraced beyond 1m6f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (8) (17/2 -21%)Dallas Star |
17/2(-21%) | (8) Dallas Star 17/2, Useful colt who ran to form upped to 2m latest; pedigree raises some doubts about suitability of an extreme trip; there's a ground question too; still a place contender on form, though. Scores highly on the class front at this level but there are glaring stamina concerns. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (66/1 +18%)Scottish Anthem |
66/1(+18%) | (4) Scottish Anthem 66/1, Pulled up on hurdles/stable debut latest in March; significant stamina question upped markedly in trip; plenty more needed even on his best form. Pulled up on stable/hurdling debut in March; an unlikely stayer even if he's back on song. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (25/1 +24%)Youthful King |
25/1(+24%) | (7) Youthful King 25/1, Useful handicapper who won at Sandown over 1m6f last time, seven days ago; plenty more needed and far from sure that the step up an extreme trip (untried beyond 2m) will suit. It was a Class 4 handicap he won over 1m6f last week and he has never won beyond that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (8/1 +33%)Trooper Bisdee |
8/1(+33%) | (6) Trooper Bisdee 8/1, Ran well enough at Goodwood last time on seasonal debut; bit to find with best of these but this capable performer should stay, so place claims. Progressive handicapper the last two years; 2m2f winner on a stiff track, so could stay. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (33/1 +0%)King Of The Road |
33/1(+0%) | (2) King Of The Road 33/1, Fair winning hurdler; stays 2m5f in that sphere; unproven on fast ground; will need to be a much better Flat horse to be a contender in this company. Respectable level over hurdles but this is a belated first run on the Flat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (10) (33/1 +74%)Toby Tops |
33/1(+74%) | (10) Toby Tops 33/1, Won well here two starts back (2m; unraced at further) while race possibly came too soon latest; masses to find on these terms and makes next to no appeal. Three-time winner at 2m but would be receiving lumps of weight in a handicap. |

Master trainer Willie Mullins rarely leaves Royal Ascot without a winner and SOBER looks to have been laid out for this unique test following a comfortable success over hurdles at Killarney last month. Formerly with Andre Fabre in France where he landed a pair of Group 2's over staying trips, he may have too much class for most of the opposition. Third in the Copper Horse Stakes earlier in the week, Samui should relish going up in trip and looks the main danger, along with Dallas Star, who has strong claims on his penultimate second to Kyprios at Leopardstown.

This looks an ordinary renewal of the Flat season's longest race and everything points to SOBER being difficult to beat.

2nd (7) (16/1 +80%)Rupert The Prince |
16/1(+80%) | (7) Rupert The Prince 16/1, No worthwhile form to date. Blinkers on for the first time, up in trip and unproven on fast ground after a short break. Difficult to fancy. Well beaten in his three starts on AW; step up in trip on turf debut.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (15/8 +58%)Casual Encounter |
15/8(+58%) | (5) Casual Encounter 15/8, Ran to the balance of form when beaten 4l in a classified race here last time. Usually consistent and with top course trainer; unproven on fast ground. Yet to make the frame but shaped better when fifth in similar contest here 18 days ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (5/2 +0%)Skimming Along |
5/2(+0%) | (1) Skimming Along 5/2, Improved on poor maiden form when stepped up in trip and won a classified race at Brighton by 1 1/4l last time. 12f suits well. Got off the mark when racing beyond a mile for the first time at Brighton 12 days ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (9/1 -20%)Formal Address |
9/1(-20%) | (2) Formal Address 9/1, Better effort in a hood when third, beaten 6l in a handicap over 10f at Brighton last time. Not proven at this trip and has a bit to find. 0-9 but placed for the second time when third of eight at Brighton 19 days ago.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (28/1 -331%)Miss Dubai |
28/1(-331%) | (4) Miss Dubai 28/1, Encountered tack problems when down the field in a handicap over 11f at Windsor on latest start. Cheekpieces on for the first time; has lost form. Yet to win on turf but had excuse when bit slipped through the mouth at Windsor last time.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (6) (7/1 +0%)Crackamour |
7/1(+0%) | (6) Crackamour 7/1, Produced a better effort in first-time blinkers when third, beaten 8l in a handicap at Chepstow last time. Unproven on fast ground but could be in the mix. Never a threat but stayed on to take third at Chepstow last month on turf debut.. |

SKIMMING ALONG showed a great deal of improvement in a first-time hood to score at this level at Brighton earlier in the month. Daniel Steele's four-year-old makes only his second outing on turf and is unexposed over this distance, so he looks the one to beat. Irezumi finished second behind the selection last time and may fill that spot again, while Formal Address is also considered after his third in a handicap at Brighton.

Last-time-out winner SKIMMING ALONG is taken to confirm placings with Irezumi.

1st (6) (11/4 -22%)Bellbird |
11/4(-22%) | (6) Bellbird 11/4, Rallied, ran to form back down in trip beaten 2 1/2l off 96 at Cartmel last time; consistent but frustrating; entitled to be thereabouts once more Only 1-14 over hurdles, but recent Cartmel second reaffirms she continues in fair heart.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (15/8 +25%)Dog Fox |
15/8(+25%) | (4) Dog Fox 15/8, Below form, prefer flatter track comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Kelso last time; in good form prior; likes this track; finishing efforts a worry but threat back from break C&D winner off 4lb lower a year ago (good); can refuse to settle but has won fresh also.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (5/1 -122%)Getalead |
5/1(-122%) | (1) Getalead 5/1, Outpaced, rallied, ran to form up in trip beaten 2 1/4l off 115 over 2m5f at Warwick last time; down in trip; ideally wants further but on good mark and could be tough to peg back down in trip if resuming positive handling Another solid effort in defeat at Warwick latest (2m5f); return to shorter trip no issue.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (9/1 +68%)Six And Out |
9/1(+68%) | (3) Six And Out 9/1, Below form down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Warwick most recent; generally out of form; not proven trip; off a short-break; easy to look elsewhere Stratford Class 3 winner last summer off today's mark, but laboured efforts since that.. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|F| (5) (4/1 +64%)Aotano |
4/1(+64%) | (5) Aotano 4/1, Bit below form comfortably held in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Aintree last time; good mark on spring novice win; no forlorn stable second string Struggles stepped back up to Class 4 handicaps latterly; Brian Hughes partners stablemate.. |

Getalead ran in snatches when second over 2m5f at Warwick last month and should remain competitive off an unchanged mark, but the drop in trip is a concern. With that in mind, BELLBIRD gets the vote. Donald McCain's mare occupied the runner-up berth in a warmer event at Cartmel and the assessor may have been generous to only put her up 1lb. Dog Fox can fight it out for the minor honours.

The sole C&D winner in the line-up, DOG FOX is also the least exposed of the protagonists. Getalead can chase him home.

1st (1) (5/2 +17%)Coconut Bay |
5/2(+17%) | (1) Coconut Bay 5/2, Well backed 3l third in a handicap over 6f at Hamilton most recent run; trainer in form; step back up in trip a plus; contender Followed her Catterick win (7f, good) with a solid third behind Superior Council. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (5) (7/4 -17%)Superior Council |
7/4(-17%) | (5) Superior Council 7/4, Won a handicap at Hamilton over 6f by 2l last time; top course jockey; up in trip; wide draw; more to come now has head in front; can follow up In first-time blinkers when making most in a 6f handicap at Hamilton last week. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (9/1 -29%)Harry Palmer |
9/1(-29%) | (7) Harry Palmer 9/1, Raced freely beaten 3l in a handicap over 8f at Carlisle last time; longer trip a plus; had wind issues; bit to find Eight-race maiden but not disgraced in handicaps and dropping back to 7f a positive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

25/1(+50%) | (10) Star Allure 25/1, Raced freely beaten 10l in a handicap at Dundalk last time; generally out of form; returning from a break; plenty more needed to get involved Very limited seven-race maiden; opposable despite this being her first classified race. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (5/1 +23%)Ignac Lamar |
5/1(+23%) | (4) Ignac Lamar 5/1, Slowly away beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap over 6f at Hamilton last time; in good form prior; top course trainer; usually held up; step up in trip no issue; wide draw; player Didn't get the breaks in Superior Council's race ten days ago and be fine returning to 7f. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (17/2 -6%)Wiggins B |
17/2(-6%) | (6) Wiggins B 17/2, Going probably on fast side beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Redcar last time where benefitted from addition of blinkers; not proven trip; wide draw; unreliable In first-time blinkers when beaten under 5l in a 7f Redcar handicap last time. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (16/1 +0%)Brother Dave |
16/1(+0%) | (3) Brother Dave 16/1, Slowly away beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Catterick last time; usually held up; dual AW winner in spring; back below last winning mark; not out of it Something to prove on turf but he is at least a dual winner at this trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (33/1 -32%)Bernie The Bear |
33/1(-32%) | (2) Bernie The Bear 33/1, Below par fourth beaten 5l in a handicap over 6f at Hamilton latest; better form on AW; up in trip; long losing run a concern Ran well enough behind two of these at Hamilton last week to merit a second look. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (8) (100/1 -100%)Nave Force |
100/1(-100%) | (8) Nave Force 100/1, Below par down the field in a handicap over 6f at Carlisle most recent where went too fast; generally out of form; not proven trip; hard to recommend Has achieved little to date, including on turf debut at Carlisle when finishing last. |

The application of first-time blinkers resulted in a first career success for SUPERIOR COUNCIL at Hamilton latest. A wide draw isn't ideal, but there isn't bundles of early pace on show. If able to adopt a prominent position, he could repeat the dose, which could come at the main expense of Coconut Bay, who will appreciate a return to further having finished third in behind the selection last time. Wiggins B has few miles on the clock and he could be capable of better.

Superior Council beat some of these ten days ago but IGNAC LAMAR may reverse placings should this pan out more favourably.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (14/1 -40%)Amestris |
14/1(-40%) | (6) Amestris 14/1, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap at York most recent; second run after wind op; highly tried at 2; good mark on that form; danger Well below form in last two runs and she needs to get back on track. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (1) (11/4 +39%)Sugar Hill Babe |
11/4(+39%) | (1) Sugar Hill Babe 11/4, Well backed when scored by 2 1/4l off 79 at Nottingham penultimate start; second beaten 1 1/4l off 85 last time; enjoys making it; consistent; enjoys fast ground; not out of it off top weight Creditable second in bid for a double at Lingfield latest and she's a key player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (7/2 +22%)Miss Show Off |
7/2(+22%) | (2) Miss Show Off 7/2, Well treated at weights when scored by 2 1/2l off 77 at Salisbury penultimate start; ninth beaten 9l off 85 last time; acts on fast ground; unreliable Back to form with clearcut win at Sandown but she failed to back that up at Goodwood. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (9/1 +0%)Grace Angel |
9/1(+0%) | (4) Grace Angel 9/1, Below par beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Nottingham last time; back below last winning mark but form going the wrong way; bit to prove On reduced mark but has something to prove and needs to raise her game. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (13/2 +28%)Secret Mistral |
13/2(+28%) | (7) Secret Mistral 13/2, Looked unenthusiastic beaten 4l off 73 at Chelmsford last time; goes well here; returning from a break; vulnerable in this grade Held at Chelmsford when last seen in February and this is competitive on her return. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (11/2 -100%)Spherical |
11/2(-100%) | (5) Spherical 11/2, Disappointing up in class beaten 7 1/4l in Bosra Sham Fillies' Stakes (Listed) over 6f at Newmarket last time; in good form prior; 2yo form strong; down in trip; threat if fit back from break Two wins as 2yo and she still has potential; needs a close look on handicap/seasonal debut. |

SPHERICAL was thought good enough to contest a Listed race at Newmarket on her final start last season, and this represents a steep drop in grade on her return. The daughter of Blue Point looks capable of improving this year and she is narrowly preferred to the in-form Sugar Hill Babe, who had Glamorous Breeze (third) behind when a creditable second at Lingfield latest.

Top of the list is SUGAR HILL BABE (nap), who has been as good as ever this season and was runner-up behind an improver at Lingfield.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (5) (9/2 +50%)Blooming Legend |
9/2(+50%) | (5) Blooming Legend 9/2, Slowly away and beaten 7 1/4l in a maiden over 6f at Chelmsford on debut. Trainer in form. Up in trip. Bit to find but should progress. Bit of promise on AW debut; nothing from this yard can be dismissed currently. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (1/3 +8%)Lovethiswayagain |
1/3(+8%) | (2) Lovethiswayagain 1/3, Well backed when second, beaten a neck in a maiden over 6f at Redcar latest. Up in trip. Open to further improvement and sets the standard. Clear second to one who's run well in defeat since at Redcar; sets the standard on that. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (14/1 -56%)Sparkling Pink |
14/1(-56%) | (8) Sparkling Pink 14/1, Benefited from debut experience when second, beaten 4l in a maiden over 6f at Brighton on second start. Up in trip. Should contend. Well-held second at a big price in a weak-looking Brighton maiden latest; needs more again. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (16/1 -14%)Mohaab |
16/1(-14%) | (7) Mohaab 16/1, 23 Mar; 6,000gns Mohaather filly; half-sister to Diffident Spirit, very useful at 8f; dam fair at 8f; probably need the experience. 6,000gns yearling who's a half-sister to three winners; yard not noted for 2yo newcomers. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (1) (16/1 +0%)Hamaleel |
16/1(+0%) | (1) Hamaleel 16/1, Well beaten in a maiden over 6f at Redcar on only start. Up in trip. Yard does well with 2yos and could improve markedly, but difficult to fancy. Needs to improve a lot on last month's 6f debut, when a long way behind Lovethiswayagain. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (6) (33/1 +0%)Henfield |
33/1(+0%) | (6) Henfield 33/1, Green but fair effort in the end when beaten 7 1/4l in a maiden over 5f at Salisbury on debut. Up in trip. Should do better. Trainer known for older horses; stamina in her pedigree and tonight's trip should help. |

LOVETHISWAYAGAIN progressed from her introduction to finish just over four lengths clear of the third when hitting the woodwork at Redcar last month. The daughter of No Nay Never may only need to reproduce that level of performance in order to get off the mark. Sparkling Pink outran her odds of 40/1 to take the silver medal home at Brighton and she might get into contention. True Test changed hands for 20,000gns as a yearling and warrants a market check on her debut.

This looks LOVETHISWAYAGAIN's to lose, with her comfortably setting the standard on last month's clear Redcar second.

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|PU| (6) (11/1 +8%)Shadowfax Of Rohan |
11/1(+8%) | (6) Shadowfax Of Rohan 11/1, Continued in poor form down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m at Perth most recent; generally out of form; not proven trip; easy to look elsewhere Wouldn't settle at Perth last month, and consequently still with it all to prove at 2m4f.. |

SPARTAN WARRIOR opened his account over timber with a determined victory at Kelso. The four-year-old has plenty of scope for further improvement in this code and a 2lb rise may not be enough to anchor him. Land Girl's Luck looked beaten when left in the lead at Southwell, although she still finished well clear of the rest and another good effort looks likely. Chillhi should be noted reverting to hurdles on only his second start for James Owen's yard.

If the cheekpieces prevent him repeating the stopping error of last time, INDEPENDENT JIMMY (nap) can lead home Spartan Warrior.

11/10(+56%) | (4) Giselles Izzy 11/10, Raced freely fourth beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap over 6f at Carlisle latest; top course jockey; up in trip; likes the track; danger if stamina holds up Yet to win over 7f but this is weaker than she's used to and revival could be forthcoming. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (7) (9/2 -35%)Pinjarra |
9/2(-35%) | (7) Pinjarra 9/2, Wide trip beaten 3l in a handicap at Catterick last time; generally out of form; still a maiden but could figure if building on latest 11-race maiden; looked a hard ride but not beaten far at Catterick latest; one to consider. |

3rd (1) (6/1 +8%)Angel Of The Bay |
6/1(+8%) | (1) Angel Of The Bay 6/1, Below par beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap over 6f at Hamilton last time; up in trip; longstanding maiden but place claims Exposed maiden; drops into first 0-50 classified event but others look more persuasive. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (16/1 +0%)Jannas Journey |
16/1(+0%) | (6) Jannas Journey 16/1, Looked to want further beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap over 6f at Hamilton last time; generally out of form this year; top course trainer; up in trip; bit to find Limited encouragement so far but drops in class and could yet do better. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (3) (6/1 -50%)Doomsday |
6/1(-50%) | (3) Doomsday 6/1, Wide trip down the field in a handicap over 8f at Carlisle most recent where went too fast; tongue-tie first time; down in trip; outside chance Disappointing the last twice but did win a 7f handicap in April; new accessories tried. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (22/1 -100%)Pinpoint |
22/1(-100%) | (8) Pinpoint 22/1, Beaten 3 1/2l in a handicap over 6f at Newcastle last time; generally out of form; up in trip; returning from a break; wide draw; course winner; more needed and stamina concerns Course win (5f) last April; not at best on AW over the winter and stamina not assured. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (5) (100/1 -203%)Heritor |
100/1(-203%) | (5) Heritor 100/1, Going probably on fast side down the field in a handicap over 6f here most recent; not proven trip; not fully exposed but improvement required Poor form in four starts from 6f to 1m; not easily recommended. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (2) (33/1 -175%)Colour Code |
33/1(-175%) | (2) Colour Code 33/1, Made too much use of beaten 7l in a handicap over 6f here last time where far too keen; generally out of form; up in trip; wide draw; more needed Regressive filly; drops in grade but too much to prove for comfort. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (9) (14/1 +13%)Jackchester |
14/1(+13%) | (9) Jackchester 14/1, Looked to want further beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap over 6f at Carlisle last time; still early days but needs to improve Settled better, albeit under heavy restraint, at Carlisle latest; could still have upside. |

DOOMSDAY is an infrequent winner in truth, but Liam Bailey's charge was on target at Musselburgh as recently as April. A first-time tongue-tie, combined with the returning cheekpieces, could help eke out a little extra, and dropping into classified company should aid his cause too. Pinjarra didn't run too badly at Catterick latest and a similar level of performance would give him a chance, while Giselles Izzy is most appealing of the remainder.

The lightly-raced 3yo JACKCHESTER settled better at Carlisle last time and he now has something to build on.

6th (3) (7/1 +36%)Pearl River |
7/1(+36%) | (3) Pearl River 7/1, 24 Feb; 14,000gns Cotai Glory colt; half-brother to Sarendam, very useful at 13f; yard can get them ready first time; market best guide Yard 17% with juveniles this season and needs a close look on debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (8) (7/2 +22%)Penhallam |
7/2(+22%) | (8) Penhallam 7/2, Runner-up beaten 1 1/2l in a maiden at Leicester only start; that form had knocks; fast ground suits; minor chance Made a promising start when runner-up at Leicester (7f) and he's in the mix. |

9/4(-88%) | (1) Gold Dawn 9/4, Runner-up beaten 1 1/4l in a novice here only start over C&D where had run of race; wide draw; could be tough to peg back if building on debut Showed plenty of promise with his debut second over C&D and sets standard on that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10th (10) (25/1 -56%)Assaranca |
25/1(-56%) | (10) Assaranca 25/1, 3l fourth in a maiden at Lingfield first-time out where missed the break; wide draw; each way claims Only fourth of five on Lingfield debut and needs plenty of progress to make a big impact. |

GOLD DAWN shaped with abundant promise on debut over C&D last month when second under Oisin Murphy. With that experience under his belt, the son of Havana Gold can go one better in what looks an easier contest, with Penhallam looking the best placed to chase him home following a strong debut effort at Leicester. Similar comments apply to Eyes Front, who was second at the same track earlier in the month.

The vote goes to GOLD DAWN, who showed plenty of promise with his debut second over C&D last month.

2nd (4) (2/5 +35%)Latynina |
2/5(+35%) | (4) Latynina 2/5, Well backed when second, beaten a neck in a maiden at Thirsk last time, improving from her debut. Bit more to come and should go well. Looked to have it in the bag until nabbed at long odds-on last time; the one to beat. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (6) (8/1 +33%)Muma Myflo |
8/1(+33%) | (6) Muma Myflo 8/1, Showed early pace before finishing 6l behind in a novice over 6f at Windsor on debut last year. Returns from a long layoff and must prove she retains ability. Off for more than a year; worth tracking in the market for a yard back among the winners. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (2) (16/1 -14%)Eulalia |
16/1(-14%) | (2) Eulalia 16/1, In need of the experience when beaten 7l in a maiden at Kempton on debut. Returns from a short break. Plenty more needed but open to improvement. Blew the start from a wide stall on her Polytrack debut in April; entitled to improve. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (8) (11/1 -10%)To Be Honest |
11/1(-10%) | (8) To Be Honest 11/1, Aclaim filly out of a useful 12f dam and half-sister to German Group 2 winner Tiffany over the same trip. Interesting debutant. First foal of an ordinary 1m2f winner; may be one for handicaps down the line. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (300/1 -20%)Miraflores |
300/1(-20%) | (5) Miraflores 300/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability. Returns from a break and has it all to do. Huge prices when a well-beaten last in two AW runs early in the year; expect similar. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (80/1 +47%)Peace First |
80/1(+47%) | (7) Peace First 80/1, Slowly away and well beaten in a maiden over 9f here on second start after being well beaten on debut. Plenty to prove now. Not offered enough to be considered, with low-grade handicaps likely next on the agenda. |

Based on her likeable pedigree, LATYNINA should be capable winning races and has shown ability in both her previous starts. Admittedly, she found much less than obviously expected when she hit the front at Thirsk 15 days ago and proved to be a costly odds-on favourite when she was overhauled by a newcomer towards the finish. However, she is a work in progress and is very likely to be a good deal wiser now. Antalya and I Can Imagine can give her the most to think about.

I Can Imagine may have been flattered here last time but LATYNINA looks the one to beat on either of her efforts to date anyway.

The winner of a race on the level between the flags in April, LORD CAUVELLIERE followed that with a successful debut under Rules at Stratford on his first start for Sheila Lewis. He can defy a penalty with the prospect of more to come. Flying Pimpernel showed ability when second at Fontwell on her introduction and she could have a say in the outcome, while Knolton Park is related to a bumper winner and is a newcomer to note with Sean Bowen on board.

The one who catches the eye most is FLYING PIMPERNEL who was second at Fontwell last month. Lord Cauvelliere looks second best.

4th (7) (11/2 -144%)Coeur Jaune |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (8) (14/1 -56%)South Road |
14/1(-56%) | (8) South Road 14/1, Below par down the field in a novice over 6f at Newcastle most recent; yet to deliver on 2yo promise; not proven trip; returning from a break; plenty more needed Has failed to back up debut effort; absent since January; not solid. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (4/1 -20%)Mecca's Symphony |
4/1(-20%) | (3) Mecca's Symphony 4/1, Ran to form off a long break beaten 2l off 68 at Doncaster last time; should come on for that; versatile ground wise; off a short-break; threat Has shown positive signs since upped to 7f; may have an ordinary handicap in her. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (4) (40/1 -21%)Actin Like A Diva |
40/1(-21%) | (4) Actin Like A Diva 40/1, Below par beaten 9l in a handicap over 5f at Musselburgh last time; generally out of form since move from Ireland; top course trainer; not proven trip; hard to recommend Poor results for new yard; return of cheekpieces may have positive effect. |

A highly creditable third on her return at Doncaster in April, MECCA'S SYMPHONY is entitled to build upon that and a 1lb drop in the weights will make life easier as she looks to break the maiden at the sixth time of asking. Coeur Jaune caught the eye when keeping on from off the pace over 6f at Doncaster recently, and going back up in trip should suit the daughter of Mehmas. A capable sort on his day, Anthropologist cannot be ruled out either in first-time cheekpieces.

With improvement plausible, INVINCIBLE RUBY is particularly interesting. Mecca's Symphony is second pick.

5th (5) (8/1 +33%)Eagle Day |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (4) (20/1 -67%)Bajan Bandit |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (18/1 +0%)Master Of Combat |
18/1(+0%) | (7) Master Of Combat 18/1, Made too much use of down the field in a handicap at Southwell most recent; better form on AW; returning from a break; easy to look elsewhere Sole turf win was a long times ago and doesn't have a great record when fresh. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (66/1 -200%)Age Of Time |
66/1(-200%) | (8) Age Of Time 66/1, Made too much use of well beaten in a handicap at Nottingham latest; should come on for the run; wide draw; needs to prove ability remains but down in weights and has run well here before Still lightly raced but he's struggled in three handicaps and needs a big turnaround. |

Disappointing having attracted significant market support on his return from a 534-day absence at Leicester, before going under the radar to score at Doncaster latest, a confident vote goes to DUKE'S COMMAND. Mudamer, who hit the crossbar on Town Moor recently, looks to be the main threat, although Eagle Day should not be underestimated if one poor run at York can be forgiven.

Most of these have something to prove but DUKE'S COMMAND won a Doncaster handicap on Sunday and he's open to more progress.

1st (4) (11/8 +21%)Buy The Dip |
11/8(+21%) | (4) Buy The Dip 11/8, Ran to form up a couple of pounds, beaten a nose off 60 over 8f at Brighton last time. Goes well here. Down in trip, but the pick on the balance of the form. Often hangs left, as when winning over C&D last June, but has to enter calculations. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (11/1 -22%)Dark Sun |
11/1(-22%) | (1) Dark Sun 11/1, Back about to novice form up to 7f third start after a wind operation, beaten 3l off 65 here last time. May have found level and mark a little stiff. Bettered an ordinary debut for this yard when 4th over C&D ten days ago; one to consider. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (4/1 -60%)Blue Collar Lad |
4/1(-60%) | (7) Blue Collar Lad 4/1, Back to form in first-time blinkers, landing a handicap by 3 1/4l off 46 here last time. Repeat effort would make him a big contender. Made it 2-2 over C&D when winning easily for Tyrese Cameron off 7lb lower latest; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (3) (9/4 +44%)Tronido |
9/4(+44%) | (3) Tronido 9/4, Ran to best recent form, beaten 2 1/4l off 62 here last time. Trainer in form. Unproven on fast ground and has regressed of late, but mark is falling. Front-runner who's drawn wider than ideal; much depends on how things pan out early. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (9/1 +18%)Mammy |
9/1(+18%) | (5) Mammy 9/1, Below form, beaten 7l in a handicap over 6f at Goodwood last time. Excuses last two starts (traffic/ground), probably wants a fast surface ideally. Interesting at a price. Patchy back on turf for her current yard; some way down the pecking order. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (28/1 -56%)Zaltalla |
28/1(-56%) | (6) Zaltalla 28/1, Probably did not stay when down the field in a handicap over 8f here on most recent run. In good form prior. Down in trip. Returning from a break. Chance if strips fit enough. Off over four months having been said to have run flat latterly; not obviously fancied. |

BLUE COLLAR LAD bounced back to form in fine style to win over C&D a fortnight ago and could be well placed to cope with a 7lb higher rating if the blinkers have the same impact second time around. Buy The Dip is a fellow course-and-distance winner that looks a key player on the back of a couple of near misses over a mile at Brighton, while Otago is dangerous to underestimate, given he is a 7f specialist.

Buy The Dip holds decent claims but a chance is taken on DARK SUN, who's low mileage and offered more over C&D last time.

1st (6) (6/4 +33%)Woohoo |
6/4(+33%) | (6) Woohoo 6/4, Yard won this last year; defied 9lb rise in the weights scored by 1 1/4l off 58 over 5f at Musselburgh penultimate start; second beaten 1 1/2l off 63 last time; top course jockey/trainer combination; up in trip; wide draw; hugely progressive; tough to oppose Winning run came to an end on Wednesday but still enhanced her reputation; strong claims. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (4) (11/2 +8%)Chuti Manika |
11/2(+8%) | (4) Chuti Manika 11/2, Ran to form beaten 3l off 72 at Thirsk last time; generally consistent off similar marks; can give a good account once more Two good runs this year and might not face much competition for the lead today; contender. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (3) (12/1 -71%)Orbital Chime |
12/1(-71%) | (3) Orbital Chime 12/1, Looked to want further beaten 2l off 71 over 5f at Hamilton last time; up in trip; inconsistent; could do with some more rain Return to 6f can help and he's slipping down the weights; type to pop up soon. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (1) (10/1 -54%)Novak |
10/1(-54%) | (1) Novak 10/1, Scored by 1/2l off 72 over 7f at Wolverhampton penultimate start; sixth beaten 4 1/2l off 75 last time ending consistent run; trainer in form; down in trip; contender C&D winner; slow start didn't help on AW last time; never won off a mark this high. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (28/1 -100%)Titian Blue |
28/1(-100%) | (5) Titian Blue 28/1, Probably needed race down the field in a handicap over 7f at Haydock most recent; down in trip; needs to get back to level of 2yo form to figure Well-beaten 16-1 shot on last month's stable debut; better than that but others are safer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (7) (16/1 -146%)Opal Storm |
16/1(-146%) | (7) Opal Storm 16/1, Well backed when scored by a short-head off 56 over 5f at Carlisle three starts back; sixth beaten 5l off 59 last time; up in trip; needs to come down a few lbs More ability than her mark and latest run was a write-off; more to prove over 6f though. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (2) (5/2 +44%)The Good Biscuit |
5/2(+44%) | (2) The Good Biscuit 5/2, Made too much use of beaten 5 1/4l in a handicap at Pontefract last time; generally out of form; mark is tumbling; not dismissed with easy lead possble Yet to win a handicap but edging down the weights and there has been promise this year. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (40/1 +20%)Dwindling Funds |
40/1(+20%) | (8) Dwindling Funds 40/1, Yard won this last year; down the field in a handicap at Hamilton most recent; top course trainer; not proven trip; yet to show anything of note; needs to improve His standout piece of form (C&D) is misleading and he's been well held in two handicaps. |

WOOHOO looks to be another sprinter going the right way for the Jim Goldie stable. A respectable second in her bid to land the four-timer at Hamilton last time out, this previous C&D winner should appreciate going back up in trip and she is preferred to The Good Biscuit, who wasn't seen to best effect at Pontefract most recently, but hasn't been with the Ruth Carr stable long. Novak and Opal Storm may also have a say in proceedings.

The Good Biscuit is threatening something bigger but the rapid improver WOOHOO (nap) can resume winning ways.

1st (4) (7/2 +42%)Box To Box |
7/2(+42%) | (4) Box To Box 7/2, Ran to form beaten 4l off 84 over 12f at Chester last time; enjoys making it; drop down in trip a plus; appears to save best for Chester Losing run is up to 18 and has faded at Chester in his two runs this season; down the list. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (9) (5/1 +58%)Bamburgh |
5/1(+58%) | (9) Bamburgh 5/1, Did not get a clear run beaten 2l off 75 at Wetherby last time; unexposed over middle distances; well treated on novice form; threat Unexposed 4yo who wasn't far behind Bodorgan at Wetherby and he should have more to offer. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (7) (20/1 -25%)Fast Steps |
20/1(-25%) | (7) Fast Steps 20/1, Did not get a clear run beaten 2l off 77 over 11f at Windsor last time; down in trip; consistent veteran; in the mix but vulnerable to improver On workable mark and was placed at Windsor latest; dangerous if he can back that up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (9/2 -29%)She's A Warrior |
9/2(-29%) | (5) She's A Warrior 9/2, Probably needed race beaten 4l off 82 at Chelmsford last time; unexposed at the trip; unproven on turf but good mark on strong novice form; leading player 4yo who still has untapped potential and could be a big factor in her second handicap. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (1) (22/1 -120%)Pearl Eye |
22/1(-120%) | (1) Pearl Eye 22/1, Slowly away beaten 9l in a handicap over 8f at Chester last time; usually held up; up in trip; inconsistent; may need to come down a few lbs Beat 20 rivals at Doncaster (1m) in March but he's not matched that since; risks attached. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (6) (10/3 +26%)Into Battle |
10/3(+26%) | (6) Into Battle 10/3, Wide trip beaten 7 1/2l in a handicap at Newbury last time; usually consistent but frustrating; has run well here; fast ground a positive; threat Didn't get much luck over C&D on penultimate run and he's a big player on that form. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (3) (4/1 +0%)Bodorgan |
4/1(+0%) | (3) Bodorgan 4/1, Ran to form beaten 3/4l off 83 at Wetherby last time; generally consistent; handles fast ground; dangerous if allowed to dictate Runner-up in this race last year and has gone close in both runs for new yard this season. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (8) (8/1 +43%)Woodstock City |
8/1(+43%) | (8) Woodstock City 8/1, Raced freely beaten a length off 74 at Yarmouth last time; quicker ground no issue; 1lb below last winning mark; outside chance up in grade Returned to form with a good second at Yarmouth last month and has each-way claims again. |

ARKHALIA FLYNN was steadily progressive last term and there was plenty to like about his recent Goodwood second. The son of Ulysses is able to compete off an unchanged mark but jockey Rose Dawes takes off a handy 5lb, so it would come as no great surprise were he to regain the winning thread. Bodorgan is unlikely to be far away, although the lightly-raced She's A Warrior could be a bigger threat.

An open race in which the vote goes to last year's runner-up BODORGAN, who has been knocking on the door in his two runs this season.

1st (10) (3/1 -33%)Banksman |
3/1(-33%) | (10) Banksman 3/1, Ran to form when winning a classified race at Yarmouth by a head last time. Trainer in form and has found a vein of form. Got it together since returned to turf and remains open to improvement; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (8) (11/2 -10%)We'renotreallyhere |
11/2(-10%) | (8) We'renotreallyhere 11/2, Would probably have run to form but for tack issues when beaten 5l in a classified race at Yarmouth last time. Fairly consistent. Behind Banksman when favourite at Yarmouth ten days ago but is 3lb better off; player. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (14/1 +13%)Laurentia |
14/1(+13%) | (4) Laurentia 14/1, Bit better effort when fourth, beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap at Chelmsford latest. Interference incidental. Unproven on fast ground but showing signs of return to form. Never won on turf and rarely runs on it now, doing most racing over further on Polytrack. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (9) (7/2 -87%)Desert Charm |
7/2(-87%) | (9) Desert Charm 7/2, Met plenty of trouble and likely better than the bare form when winning a classified race at Yarmouth by 1 1/4l last time. Unproven on fast ground but progressing. Bit in hand on turf debut; the least exposed of these and has every chance of following up. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (5) (20/1 +39%)No News |
20/1(+39%) | (5) No News 20/1, Poor again when well beaten in a handicap over 7f here latest. Visor on for the first time. Up in trip but out of form for some time. Given a try in a first-time visor but it's a long time since he ran well on turf. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (1) (100/1 -150%)Amal |
100/1(-150%) | (1) Amal 100/1, In poor form and beaten 6l in a handicap at Windsor when last seen in September. Returning from a layoff and has a lot to find. Hardly seen in recent times and hasn't shown anything in an age; would be a shock winner. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (3/1 +33%)Taskheer |
3/1(+33%) | (7) Taskheer 3/1, Made too much use of himself when beaten 9l in a handicap over 9f at Goodwood last time. Goes well here. Down in trip and usually consistent. This is easier back in 0-50 company and he'll be happier back down in trip; considered. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8th (3) (100/1 -52%)Dizziwizzbang |
100/1(-52%) | (3) Dizziwizzbang 100/1, Poor again when down the field in a classified race over 11f at Windsor last time. No worthwhile form. Triple-figure prices all starts (7f-1m3f) and is still to offer anything; passed over. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9th (2) (40/1 -100%)Battleofbaltimore |
40/1(-100%) | (2) Battleofbaltimore 40/1, Poor effort when down the field in a classified race over 5f at Leicester on latest start. Up in trip but regressing. Well held in two starts for this yard; worry he'll pull hard again over this distance. |

Banksman and DESERT CHARM won their respective divisions of a classified race at Yarmouth last time. The former will likely feature once again, but Mike Murphy's filly was the more impressive winner. She scored with plenty left in the tank and another good account seems assured. Taskheer won at this level on the Polytrack here back in February and could make his presence felt.

The vote goes to DESERT CHARM, who's from a decent family and won with something to spare on her turf debut. Banksman is next best.

1st (1) (11/8 +27%)Pomme Pomme |
11/8(+27%) | (1) Pomme Pomme 11/8, Benefited from positive ride landing a handicap by a length off 65 at Bath last time; hugely progressive; could be tough to peg back once again with easy lead possible 4-4 in handicaps and he beat a clear second at Beverley; big player again off 7lb higher. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (6) (11/4 +31%)Ottoman |
11/4(+31%) | (6) Ottoman 11/4, Landed a handicap by 1 1/4l off 53 at Leicester last time; enjoys fast ground; unexposed at 10f; in the mix once again Made his breakthrough at Leicester and he's only 2lb higher here; possibilities. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (2) (12/1 -20%)Broadstone |
12/1(-20%) | (2) Broadstone 12/1, Ran to form 3l third in a maiden at Down Royal most recent run; consistent; very well treated on Irish form; chance if fit and ready to go for handicap debut Showed promise in Irish maidens and needs watching in market on handicap/stable debut. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (5) (7/1 -56%)Betty Bassett |
7/1(-56%) | (5) Betty Bassett 7/1, Well backed when landing a handicap by a head off 62 at Wetherby last time; acts on fast ground; remains unexposed; threat Last-gasp win on handicap debut at Wetherby and he's open to more progress; in the mix. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (4) (18/1 -125%)Ruling Master |
18/1(-125%) | (4) Ruling Master 18/1, Ran to form beaten 1/4l off 65 over 8f at Brighton last time; longer trip no issue; looks vulnerable to less exposed rival 0-9 but he went close off this mark on stable debut at Brighton; respected back up in trip. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (3) (5/1 -25%)Tuesdays Child |
5/1(-25%) | (3) Tuesdays Child 5/1, Going probably on fast side fourth beaten 8 1/2l in a maiden over 8f at Bath latest; top course trainer; up in trip; good mark on AW form; threat if stamina holds up on handicap debut Regressive in maidens but is a possible improver now upped to this trip on handicap debut. |

Just over a month ago, POMME POMME was successful off an opening handicap mark of 47. The progressive Coulsty filly arrives on the back of three subsequent successes and from a whopping 25lb higher, but she was in command at Bath latest and might not be done improving yet. Ottoman put his best foot forward to record a comfortable victory at Leicester earlier this month and he merits respect, as does Wetherby victor Betty Bassett.

It might be worth sticking with POMME POMME, who made it 4-4 in handicaps when beating a clear second at Beverley last Saturday.

1st (3) (5/1 -25%)Silky Robin |
5/1(-25%) | (3) Silky Robin 5/1, Well backed and ran to form landing a handicap by a nose off 56 over 5f at Brighton last time. Up in trip. Good attitude and in very good heart. Now 2-2 at Brighton; not always looked easy but the blinkers have had a positive impact. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2nd (1) (13/8 +59%)Beelzebub |
13/8(+59%) | (1) Beelzebub 13/8, Ran to form back on AW when second, beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Southwell latest. Off a short break. Probably a fraction better on synthetics than grass, but serious chance. Didn't have the race run to suit last time and is better treated on turf; shortlisted. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3rd (4) (10/1 +0%)Brunel Charm |
10/1(+0%) | (4) Brunel Charm 10/1, Ran to current form when beaten 5l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Much better form on AW but goes well here. Rated 14lb lower on turf (for a reason) but did go close over C&D last July off 4lb lower. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4th (6) (10/3 +5%)Lahina Bay |
10/3(+5%) | (6) Lahina Bay 10/3, Well backed and may have needed the run when 4 1/2l third in a handicap here most recent start. Official mark is high enough. All the rage back from a break over C&D recently; one to consider off a career-low mark. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5th (2) (4/1 -33%)Rusheen Boy |
4/1(-33%) | (2) Rusheen Boy 4/1, Back to form out of the blue, landing a handicap by 5 1/2l off 48 at Yarmouth last time. Obvious chance, but will need a repeat of last run. Blitzed them at Yarmouth recently; been handed a hefty 12lb rise, which will test him. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6th (5) (33/1 0%)Umming N' Ahing |
33/1(0%) | (5) Umming N' Ahing 33/1, Below form when down the field in a handicap over 5f at Windsor on most recent run back in September. Probably best at 6f, but likely to need this. Entitled to need this after nine months off; conditions would be a concern. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7th (7) (22/1 -300%)Professor Tickle |
22/1(-300%) | (7) Professor Tickle 22/1, Every chance and ran to form when beaten a neck off 51 at Brighton last time. Chance on that form. Much more off a career-low mark from the front last time but some rain would have helped. |

A dual winner on the all-weather, RUSHEEN BOY opened his account on turf when routing the opposition at Yarmouth. He has a hike in the weights to contend with, but an apprentice's 7lb allowance helps on that score, and the four-year-old looks worth sticking with. Brunel Charm has won twice on the Polytrack this year and is likely to prove competitive racing off a much lower mark back on this surface, while Beelzebub is preferred to Brighton winner Silky Robin of the rest.

A number arrive in good form but nothing makes more appeal than BEELZEBUB (nap), who's used to plying his trade in better company.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.
There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.
The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.
Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.
In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.
Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
